Explanatory note

Sections 271 and 273 of the Gambling Act 2005 make provision for club gaming permits to be issued to members' clubs and miners' welfare institutes and for club machine permits to be issued to such clubs and institutes or to commercial clubs. In Scotland, the issuing authority is the Licensing Board for the area in which the premises in question are situated. These Regulations make further provision in relation to club gaming permits and club machine permits where the applicant for, or holder of, the permit holds a licence granted under section 9(1) of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1976 (other than an off-sale licence) or a certificate of registration under section 105 of that Act. Regulations 3 to 7 provide as to the procedure for making an application for a permit whilst regulations 8 to 10 concern how such an application is to be dealt with. Provision is made as to the form of any permit (regulation 11 and Schedules 2 and 3), annual fees (regulation 14), and the variation, duration, cancellation, forfeiture and renewal of permits (regulations 15 and 17 to 20). Regulation 21 deals with appeals.

What Parliament said about it

Hansard was searched for this instrument by name and returned nothing. That is the ordinary outcome: an instrument laid under the negative procedure is usually never debated, and becomes law without a word said about it in either House.

How Parliament handled it

Parliament's Statutory Instruments service records procedure from May 2017 onwards, and this instrument predates it. That is a limit of the source, not a statement that nothing happened.
