The BBC says:
More than half of consumers want shops to open for longer on Sundays, research suggests.
The findings come from a YouGov poll carried out for the My Sunday My Choice campaign, which wants the Sunday trading laws to be deregulated.
The government is currently reviewing the restrictions on trading, which let shops open for six hours on a Sunday.
A rival campaign called Keep Sunday Special says it wants to see the day return to a family day of rest.
It's amazing how often the BBC gives publicity to surveys carried out on behalf of special interest pressure groups, with the surveys miraculously showing that the British public allegedly support the goals of the special interest pressure groups. Of course the result of this particular survey might be accurate, but the BBC should be a bit more critical about what it publishes.
