Sunday Closing (Wales) Act 1881
The Sunday Closing (Wales) Act 1881 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It was one of the Licensing Acts 1828 to 1886.〔The Short Titles Act 1896, section 2(1) and Schedule 2〕 It required the closure of all public houses in Wales on Sundays. The Act had considerable political importance as a formal acknowledgement of the separate character of Wales, setting a precedent for future legislation and decisions. It was repealed in 1961.
== Introduction of the legislation ==
The legislation was introduced by the Liberal Government elected in 1880 under Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone. It was the first Act since the union between England and Wales in 1535–42 which specifically applied only to Wales.〔John Davies, ''A History of Wales'', 1993, ISBN 0-14-028475-3〕 A similar Bill which would have applied in England was rejected by Parliament. The 1881 Act did not apply to Monmouthshire, but was extended over that county in 1915 under wartime legislation which was reaffirmed in 1921.〔(Hansard 1921 )〕 However, later Acts which were specific to Wales, including the Welsh Intermediate Education Act 1889, and the Welsh Cemeteries Act 1908, were also applied to Monmouthshire.〔( Welcome to Monmouthshire - "interesting points" )〕
