I don't see why it would affect the pay in Scotland anyway seeing as trading laws are devolved and that has meant Scottish workers do enjoy the premium pay on Sundays. If Holyrood could ensure that was the case before then why would a minor change to the law in England and Wales make them unable to do so?

And re the 'tough on retail workers' thing, well retail jobs are set to fall massively over the next few years, allowing Sunday trading would actually reverse that trend and either mean that more jobs become available or at least offer extra hours to those who want it. And in general it would mean busier high streets and more business for retailers and those are clearly positive if you're concerned about retail workers
