Enforced Christmas Night Pub Opening

EDM number 1757 in 1997-98, proposed by Robin Corbett on 11/11/1998.

That this House resents the instruction by Bass Taverns that its managers must open their premises on Christmas night; regrets that Bass is abandoning its former practice of allowing staff to choose whether to open on this special night; and calls upon the company to rescind its instruction so that staff may spend Christmas evening as they choose.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
