Comments on Sections Sections 7 and 8 – Premises licences and occasional licences: modification of mandatory conditions
21.Sections 27(2) and 60(2) of the 2005 Act allow the Scottish Ministers to make regulations adding to or extending the application of the mandatory licence conditions for premises licences in schedule 3 and for occasional licences in schedule 4. Sections 7 and 8 amend these powers to also enable the Scottish Ministers to delete or amend conditions in schedules 3 and 4. In addition, section 8 provides that regulations under section 60(2) relating to mandatory conditions of occasional licences are now to be subject to the affirmative resolution procedure (as is already the case for regulations under section 27(2) relating to mandatory conditions of premises licences).
