These Regulations amend the Police Act 1997 (Criminal Records) (Scotland) Regulations 2006. Regulation 7 of those Regulations prescribes records of convictions held for the use of police forces generally as central records.
The amendments replace references to the Scottish Criminal Record Office with references to the Scottish Police Services Authority, and references to the names index which has been held by the Police Information Technology Organisation with references to the names database to be held by the National Policing Improvement Agency.
1997 c. 50. Section 113A was inserted by the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (c. 15) (“the 2005 Act”), section 163(2). See section 125(1) of the Police Act 1997 for a definition of “prescribed”. By virtue of section 126(3) of the Police Act 1997, as amended by the 2005 Act, section 166(2), in the application of Part 5 of that Act of 1997 to Scotland certain references to the Secretary of State must be construed as references to the Scottish Ministers.
