A scheme to expand Sunday opening hours for shops is being kept “under review” by Boris Johnson – following it come into review that at around 50 Conservative MPs are assembling to rebel over the plan.
The prime minister is taking into account whether to enable shops to open for longer on Sundays, by easing current trading limitations, in order to help increase the economic recovery from the coronavirus crisis.
Legislation to suspend Sunday trading laws for a year – to enable shops to open for more than six hours on Sundays – was said to be part of a coronavirus recovery bill to be introduced by the government this week.
