Part 7: Sunday Working
In August 2015 the Government consulted on proposals to devolve decision making on Sunday trading hours to local areas. In response to comments raised through the consultation, the Government response published in February 2016 included a commitment to bring forward a range of measures to strengthen shop workers' rights, so that those shop workers who do not wish to work on Sundays or do not wish to work longer hours on Sundays are protected.
