This Lords Bill would extend the existing Christmas Day shop opening restrictions to Remembrance Sunday, meaning most shops would be closed on Remembrance Sunday as they are on Christmas Day. It is intended to align shopping rules with Remembrance events and related observances.
The bill completed its second reading in the Lords in 2011, but the Order of Commitment was discharged in December 2011, and there has been no further progress recorded since then.
