A Regulatory Reform Order came into force on 27 February 2004, removing the requirement for large shops in England and Wales to give prior written notification to their local authority of their Sunday opening hours. The Order also repealed the restriction contained in section 26 of the Revenue Act 1889 on the sale of methylated spirits between 10pm on Saturday and 8am on the following Monday.
