A Labour MP is pushing for change on alcohol sales on certain holidays.

Kieran McAnulty's new bill will let licensed businesses already open on ANZAC Day morning, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, and Christmas sell alcohol.

It's been voted through to Select Committee today.

McAnulty says he's open to amendments to get the Bill through.

He says if it turns out the majority of MPs don't want Christmas Day included - he'll take it out.
