EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations make provision in relation to applications to the Security Industry Authority for the grant of licences under the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (“the 2001 Act”) to engage in licensable conduct.

Regulation 2 amends the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Licences) Regulations 2007 by substituting a new regulation 3 and omitting Schedule 1. The effect of the amendment is that there will be no application form prescribed for the purposes of section 8(2)(a) of the 2001 Act directly in the Regulations. Instead, the form of the application and the information to be provided will have to be as determined by the Security Industry Authority. Henceforth, the Authority will display on its website the required form or mode of application and the information which must accompany an application.
