Theresa May has refused calls to force all shops to close on Boxing Day, saying it is not the Government’s job to tell businesses how they should run their shows.
MPs will hold a Westminster Hall debate on a petition with more than 140,000 signatures calling for a ban on all retail premises opening the day after Christmas, on the basis that it exploits low paid workers.
Responding to the petition, the Government said:
"We do not believe it is for central Government to tell businesses how to run their shops or how best to serve their customers.Quite so, Nanny makes more than a mess of things when she does interfere in people's lives!
Therefore we are not proposing to ban shops from opening on Boxing Day."

Opening up exploits low paid workers, so they want the shops closed and the low paid workers to get paid nowt?

But we all know thats a lie!
They never seem to have a problem telling business how to operate when they feel like it any other time.

ReplyDeleteBut that's exactly what Government did when it banned smoking in pubs and clubs causing thousands to close.
