Shops Act 1950

The Shops Act 1950 (14 Geo. 6. c. 28) was an act of Parliament of the United Kingdom which was repealed on 1 December 1994 by the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994. The introductory text describes it as "An Act to consolidate the Shops Acts, 1912 to 1938, and certain other enactments relating to shops.".

The act dealt with hours of closing (not hours of opening), half-day holidays, employment conditions and with Sunday trading in England and Wales. The act provided a right to suitable seating for female workers.

The act did not extend to Northern Ireland.

Part IV of the act (Sunday closing) did not extend to Scotland.

The Shops (Airports) Act 1962 (10 & 11 Eliz. 2. c. 35) was an act of Parliament which made exemptions of the Shops Act 1950 for traders conducting business in airports. These exemptions applied to shops that were in airports, other than those not ordinarily accessible by those travelling to or from the airport by air, and exempts them from the provisions in part 1 of the Shops Act 1950 regarding closing times. The Act was later repealed by the Deregulation and Contracting Out Act 1994 alongside the Shops Act 1950.
