HC Deb 25 November 1982 vol 32 c547W
Q57. Mr. Ray Powell

asked the Prime Minister if, in view of the interest of consumers, retailers, workers, local authorities and others into the issues raised by possible amendment of the Shops Act 1950, she will set up an inquiry into its operation particularly as regards Sunday trading.

The Prime Minister

No. The relevant considerations are already well known and I do not believe that an inquiry would make the issues any easier to resolve.
