The govt was going to extend Sunday trading hours, but it looks like the SNP are going to be able to block them http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/nov/09/snp-set-to-block-loosening-of-sunday-trading-restrictions Seems a bit rich to stop England and Wales getting something that Scotland already benefits from.

If a handful of Labour MPs voted with the government on this, the Bill would be able to get through. I assume they won't do that though, given that the article doesn't mention it. Anyone know why Labour oppose longer Sunday hours? Presumably the majority aren't backers of 'Keep Sunday Special'. I'd have thought it would be a good win for them to support extended hours, to counter suggestions that they're anti-business.
