§ 67. Mr. CranTo ask the Attorney-General, pursuant to his answer of 16 June,Official Report, column 201, when the expects the Association of District Councils to respond to his request for information regarding the enforcement of the Sunday trading provisions of the Shops Act 1950; and what other steps he is takiing to ascertain the scale of such enforcement.
§ The Attorney-GeneralMy Department was informed by the association in mid-June that the association hoped to write to me
within the next few days".It has no doubt taken longer than expected to collate the results of the association's survey of its member authorities. I expect that survey to provide the most authoritative information on the scale of the enforcement effort since the association can call upon the resources of all the local authorities concerned.
