A group of 200 MPs and council leaders has called for relaxing the rules on Sunday opening hours for shops in England and Wales.
In a letter to the Sunday Telegraph, they wrote that increasing spending on Sundays would boost job prospects and help businesses compete with online firms. They backed government plans to devolve Sunday trading laws to local councils.
But what people forget is if the laws are relaxed, the businesses of small corner shops and small independent retailers will be affected. Who will compensate for that?
