Background and Overview Sale and supply of alcohol
14.The Act amends the Licensing Act 2003 to enable licensing authorities to make an order restricting the sale and supply of alcohol between the hours of 3am and 6am in either the whole or a part of their area; such an order may be expressed to apply on every day, or only on certain days of the week. The effect of an order is that any premises licence, club premises certificate or temporary event notice does not (unless specific exemptions apply), authorise the sale or supply of alcohol between those times in the early morning.
