(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends section 18 of the Gaming Act 1968 by extending subsection (1), so that the restriction on Sunday gaming made by that subsection will apply throughout Great Britain; and repealing subsection (2) which made more restrictive provision in respect of Sunday gaming in Scotland. The effect of the Order is that section 18 will prohibit gaming on a Sunday between the hours of four in the morning and two in the afternoon throughout Great Britain.
