Consultation on Scottish licensing laws launched
The Scottish Executive has launched its consultation on the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 Draft Guidance and Regulations.
The consultation will cover key parts of the Licensing Act, including: premises, mandatory, discretionary, occasional and personal licences; mandatory licence conditions for late night and adult entertainment venues; training of Licensing Standards Officers and Licensing Board members and transitional arrangements until the Act fully comes into force in 2009.
George Lyon, deputy minister for finance and public service reform, said: “Today’s consultation on guidance and regulations is another important step in implementing the Licensing Act. It represents substantial progress and aims to balance the needs of the licensed trade for a modern and responsive licensing system, against our wider aims to change our cultural attitude to alcohol to help reduce health problems and antisocial behaviour.
“This consultation is an opportunity for those who work or have a direct interest in the licensing industry to comment on the proposals, to help us develop this secondary legislation. The Executive will examine the findings of this consultation before laying the regulations in Parliament next year.”
The consultation ends on 8 December 2006. Details: www.scotland.gov.uk
