Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend two sets of Regulations made under the Private Security Industry Act 2001 and extend a third to Scotland.
Regulation 2 extends the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Exemption) (Aviation Security) Regulations 2006 to Scotland. Previously these Regulations only applied to England and Wales.
Regulation 3 amends Regulation 5 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Approved Contractor Scheme) Regulations 2007. The amendment substitutes a fee of £17 for the previous fee of £20 for the annual fee to be paid by an approved person in respect of each person undertaking licensable conduct on behalf of him or under his direction.
Regulation 4 amends the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Licences) Regulations 2007. The first amendment amends Regulation 7 to allow a licensed person to engage in non-front line licensable conduct in any other category of licensable activity. The second amendment replaces the form prescribed for the purposes of section 8(2)(a) of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 with a new form, as set out in Schedule 1 to this Order. Regulation 4(2) is a transitional provision allowing the existing application form to be used until 31st March 2008.
