Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order makes transitional provision in connection with the commencement of the Gambling Act 2005.
Schedule 2 to the Gaming Act 1968 requires a person to hold a certificate of consent issued by the Gambling Commission before the person can apply to the appropriate licensing authority for a licence under that Act. The Order restricts the circumstances in which, during the period between 29 April 2006 and the date on which the relevant provision of the 1968 Act is repealed for all purposes by the Gambling Act 2005, the Gambling Commission may issue a certificate of consent where it relates to an application for a casino licence. Where the application for the certificate of consent is made on or after 29 April 2006, the Gambling Commission may only issue a certificate of consent if they are satisfied that the casino licence to which the consent application relates is intended to replace a casino licence already held by the applicant for premises in the same licensing area. Article 3 makes incidental modifications to the powers of the Gambling Commission to revoke certificates of consent.
