Part 1: Labour Market and Illegal Working Section 36: Licensing Act 2003: amendments relating to illegal working
The purpose of this section is to prevent illegal working in licensed premises by making it a requirement for a personal or premises licence to sell alcohol that the licensee has the right to work in the UK. Additionally, the Secretary of State will be added to the list of responsible authorities so that she must be consulted before a premises licence is issued or transferred, allowing intervention where there are strong grounds for believing that the issue of a licence would give rise to a serious risk of illegal working. Subsection (1) gives effect to Schedule 4, where the amendments to the licensing framework in the Licensing Act 2003 are set out.
	The 2003 Act only extends to England and Wales. Subsection (2) provides a power to extend the effect of the licensing measures to Scotland and Northern Ireland by regulations.
	Subsection (5) allows regulations to be made to amend an Act of the Westminster Parliament. This was necessary because in Scotland, late night catering is dealt with by the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, which is an Act of the Westminster Parliament which predates devolution.
