Abstract:

This paper examines the current Sunday trading laws in England and Wales and the conflict which has arisen between the restrictions imposed by that legislation and the demands of the market. Using extensive evidence from public opinion surveys, particular attention is given to the attitudes of consumers towards the law and the effect this has had upon the behaviour of retailers. A comparison is drawn between views and practices in Scotland, where the law does not apply, and the rest of Great Britain.
