Section 86A of the Licensing Act 1964 provides that, at an international port where that section is in operation, section 59 of that Act (which prohibits the sale, supply, or consumption of intoxicating liquor in licensed premises, or the taking of intoxicating liquor from such premises, except during the permitted hours) shall not apply to licensed premises which are within an approved wharf (within the meaning of the Customs and Excise Management Act 1979). This Order brings section 86A into operation at the port of Folkestone.
