How to translate? (en-ru)

As MPs depart for their summer holidays George Osborne, the shadow chancellor, will have little time for any light reading.

  1. 1.

    В то время как члены парламента отправляются в летние отпуска, у Джорджа Осборна, теневого канцлера (казначейства), будет очень мало времени для отдыха.

When we ask people what they're going to do on their vacation, it's kind of a cliché to answer "some light reading." Here they're making a little sarcastic reference to that cliché in order to imply that the chancellor is going to be very busy while everyone else is on holiday.

у Джрджа Осборна, теневого канцлера

Его зовут Джрдж, а настоящая фамилия Мкртчян. 🙃

Да ладно уж, прикалываться-то... Ну исправил...

Думаю, и по-русски можно сказать "будет мало времени на легкое чтение/чтиво". В сочетании с отпусками будет вполне понятно.
