Licensing Act 2003 (Commencement) Order 2003
This Order brings into force repeal provisions of the Licensing Act 2003. Those provisions repeal sections 66 and 67 of and Schedule 8 to the Licensing Act 1964, which cease to have effect on the day after the day on which this Order is made. This means that the local government electorate in the counties and county boroughs of Wales and Monmouthshire can no longer requisition polls to decide whether licensed premises should be permitted to open on Sundays. Since the polls taken on 13 November 1996, Sunday opening has been adopted throughout Wales and Monmouthshire.
