This is a draft item of legislation. This draft has since been made as a UK Statutory Instrument: The Gambling Act 2005 (Exclusion of Children from Track Areas) Order 2007 No. 1410
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends section 182(2) of the Gambling Act 2005.
Section 182(1) of the Act prevents children and young persons from entering any area on a track where facilities for betting are provided (section 182(1)(a)) or where a gaming machine, other than a Category D machine, is situated (section 182(1)(b)).
Section 182(2) of the Act provides an exemption to section 182(1)(a) for dog tracks and horse race courses on a day when racing takes place, or is expected to take place, on the track or course as appropriate. This exemption enables children and young persons to enter any area of the track where betting facilities are provided on a race day.
This Order amends section 182(2) to add an exemption for all other tracks on a day when a race or other sporting event takes place, or is expected to take place, on the track.
