I can't believe that the SNP have voted against the government regarding Sunday Opening hours when they have de-restricted opening times up there!!
Personally, I'm happy with the current hours on Sundays but why are the SNP allowed to vote against something that they are in support of North of the border?

I believe that in Scotland you may open but you must pay a premium on wages. The SNP voted against because that clause was not inserted into the English bill. I think they have a point - but I also agree that it's wrong that they can change English law but parliament cannot change Scottish law.
