Relaxing Sunday trading laws is wrong, says Labour’s Nandy

Lisa Nandy, Labour’s shadow foreign secretary, says her party is against the relaxation of Sunday trading laws in the UK.

According to a report in The Times, the government is producing legislation to enable larger supermarkets to open for more than six hours on Sundays.

“No, this is the wrong thing to do,” Ms Nandy told the BBC’s Andrew Marr show

“I’m not convinced this will help get the economy back on track. We’ve been applauding our frontline workers, and supermarket workers are among those.

“They are worried what this will mean in terms of time with their families. It could hit our high streets hard because of Covid-19.”
