Part of Christmas Day (Trading) Bill – in a Public Bill Committee am 2:30 pm ar 12 Mai 2004.
I have two points to make. The hon. Member for North
Durham did not refer to service stations. Are they exempt? He mentioned bicycles, ships and filling stations but he did not mention shops in service stations. [Hon. Members: ''He did.''] No, he mentioned petrol stations but not service stations. Secondly, schedule 1(5) of the 1994 Act refers to a register being kept of shops that will not be able to trade, and states that that register will contain particulars such as the names and addresses of those shops. Will that register still be kept?
