Territorial Extent Schedule 6: Exchange of information: persons and bodies Part 5: Operating Licences Section 104: Application to vary licence
317.Holders of operating licences may, for their own commercial reasons, wish to vary the gambling facilities that they provide, whether that is to cease carrying out an activity, or to start a new activity. Equally, they may wish to vary an individual condition that has been attached to their licence. In such circumstances, the holder of an operating licence will need to apply to the Commission to vary the terms of the licence.
318.This section permits holders to apply for a variation of an operating licence, and applies the provisions of Part 5, modified as appropriate, to the variation process. Regulations by the Secretary of State will provide the relevant procedures.
319.An application for variation cannot be used to transfer an operating licence to another person. Operating licences are non-transferable.
