HL Deb 17 March 1980 vol 407 c154WA
Lord JACQUES

to ask Her Majesty's Government:

In how many local authority areas in England and Wales orders are in effect requiring shops to close before 8 p.m. on days other than Sunday.

Lord BELSTEAD

This information is not kept centrally. It could be obtained only by asking all district councils; and this would not be justified.
