answer text <p>It is against the law to 'sell' honours or peerages - offering cash for awards - under the Honours (Prevention of Abuses) Act 1925. Life peerages are vetted by the House of Lords Appointments Commission for matters of propriety, who seek advice from Government Departments and Agencies where appropriate.<strong> </strong></p> more like this

answer text <p>Devolving the power to extend Sunday trading hours will enable local areas to determine the Sunday trading hours that best reflects the needs of local people, providing greater choice over when and where they shop. There are many reasons why people may continue to choose small retailers. They offer a diverse range of products and services from convenient locations. This is one of the reasons why the convenience stores sector last year saw the opening of two new stores a day and growth in turnover of 5%.</p><p> </p> more like this
