Sunday gambling ban to be lifted

The government has announced plans to allow bookmakers and bingo halls in Northern Ireland to open on Sundays. Northern Ireland is the only part of the United Kingdom where these premises have to close on Sundays. The changes would allow bookmakers' offices to open between 1030 GMT and 1830 GMT and bingo clubs to open between 1400 GMT and 2300 GMT. There are also plans for new employment rights to protect staff who do not want to work on Sundays. "Some betting and bingo club workers may not wish to work on a Sunday," he said. He said any relaxation of the Sunday restrictions would be accompanied by "important new employment rights for such workers".
