PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Sunday Trading: Public Consultation (23 February 2016)

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, how many responses to the Government's consultation on devolving Sunday trading rules were opposed to any relaxation of Sunday trading rules.

Asked by:
Jonathan Reynolds (Labour)

The consultation was about a specific proposal to devolve a power to extend trading hours on Sunday to local areas. The consultation did not ask respondents whether they supported or were opposed to a general relaxation of Sunday trading rules. The Department does not, therefore, hold information on this issue.
