Closed petition Remove Sunday trading laws for businesses.

Closed on

Sunday trading laws are obsolete. It should be up to the retailer if and when they want to open - not the government. It will also help shops compete with online competition - I have, surprisingly frequently, went out to buy a product but found all the shops to be shut - so brought them online.
