Sunday Trading: Better Abolished than Relaxed
Recently, the Government proposed increasing Sunday trading hours, allegedly to appease large businesses facing a tax hike.

We agree that a day of rest is good, and that we should not be compelled to work on Sundays.
Author's summary: Sunday trading hours remain restricted.
