SUNDAY TRADING

Early day motion 1228, tabled 9 March 2016 by Helen Goodman (Labour). Signed by 7 members.

That this House opposes the proposed extension to Sunday trading hours; believes Sunday should be kept as a time for family, community and rest; is concerned that the extension of hours may pressure workers into taking extra hours on, even if they do not wish to; further believes that extending hours risks taking business away from smaller shops that are open when supermarkets are currently closed; and believes that there is very little demand for change from the public.

Signatures by party: Labour 4, DUP 3.
