Manuel Valls pushes through a raft of economic reforms

Fearing defeat in parliament on a raft of key economic reforms, the French PM Manuel Valls took drastic action on Tuesday and pushed through the first reading of the bill without the normal vote by MPs.  Included in this raft of reforms was longer opening hours for shops, Sunday opening etc.  The bill still needs to be considered by the Senate before a second reading. The action has provoked a vote of confidence to be debated on Tuesday.
