Sunday Trading (No.4)

EDM number 414 in 1991-92, proposed by David Alton on 17/12/1991.

That this House congratulates Marks and Spencer plc., C & A Limited, the John Lewis Partnership, Robert Dyas Limited, the Burton Group, the House of Fraser, and many thousands of other retail companies in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, upon their initiative in communicating so effectively and honestly with their customers that they are not prepared to open illegally on Sundays; wishes all these companies every success; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to cease its craven support for a group of law-breaking companies in their planned and premeditated attack upon the rule of law, family life and upon shop workers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
