Part of Orders of the Day — Sunday Trading Bill – in the House of Commons at 5:45 pm on 8 December 1993.
That distorts what I said and, if I may say so, it is a rather disgraceful remark. I have made it absolutely plain that if the House favours one of the most restrictive options, I should be one of the first to ask that there should be solid and strict enforcement of it through the local authorities. I very much resent the implication that I was asking the House to break the law —I most certainly am not.
