Sorry to disagree with you on this , but I think your answer is a crock , and spoken like a true Tory taskmaster of old , granted some people have to work over a 7 day spread, police , fire etc.
The only reason 7 day trading is happpening is pure misguided greed on behalf of the giant retail chains who think they will make more profit , simple answer is they dont , the amount of money a person has available for spending is the same wether its over a six day or seven day trading week . In order for the local supermarket to make money by trading 7 days is to put the prices up to cover the cost of openeng up the business , paying staff , heat, light etc.
And no way can I agree with your statement that some parents actually like working on Sundays because it saves them money , I'm sure any responsible parent given the option would want to spend quality family time together as a unit .
