Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

Section 87 of the Licensing Act 1964 provides that, at an international airport where that section is in operation, section 59 of that Act (which prohibits the sale of intoxicating liquor except during permitted hours) shall not apply to licensed premises which are within the examination station approved for the airport under section 22 of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979.

This Order consolidates existing orders and brings section 87 of the 1964 Act into operation at Coventry Airport.
