Territorial Extent Schedule 8: Gambling Appeals Tribunal Part 8: Premises Licences Section 155: Delegation of functions under Part 8: Scotland
419.This section provides that, in relation to Scotland, the functions of licensing authorities may be delegated to a committee of the authority, a member or members of the authority, the clerk of the authority, or any person appointed to assist the clerk.
420.The three exceptions to this are:
	Resolutions by the licensing authority not to issue casino licences under section 166;
	Formulation of the three year licensing policy under section 349; and
	The matters listed in subsection (4) of section 154.
421.The first two matters may not be delegated at all, but the third matter may be delegated to a committee of the authority, or to a member or members of the authority.
422.In Scotland, licensing authorities are licensing boards established under section 1 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1976. The procedures that apply to the proceedings of licensing boards in the exercise of their functions under that Act apply to the proceedings of those boards in relation to their functions under this Part. Regulations made by the Scottish Ministers dealing with the proceedings of licensing boards may make separate provision for the functions of the boards under the Licensing (Scotland) Act and under this Part.
