Rejected petition Drop Sunday trading laws.

More details

It is the 21st century, yet at 6pm on a Sunday, some companies would commit an offence by selling food to a hungry man. These laws make no sense. They serve only to constrain the freedom of business to sell, the freedom of shoppers to buy, and the freedom of workers to work.
