Source
Taz Yoreh De'ah, Siman 372, Sif Katan 5 "If the seventh day falls on Shabbat, when only a little is required in the morning, and even in the morning there is permission to read from the Torah, but since on weekdays one waits until after the morning prayer, so too on Shabbat, but during Mincha there is full permission to read from the Torah."
