Budget "shake-up" to create thousands of jobs

The Chancellor of the Exchequer will use his first Budget in a Conservative majority Government to announce a shake-up of Sunday trading laws. 

George Osborne will announce that decisions over Sunday trading hours will now be decided by local councils and elected mayors. Under current legislation, shops with a floor space larger than 3,000sq ft are only allowed to trade for six hours between 10am and 6pm.
