The Gambling Act 2005 (Licensing Authority Policy Statement)(England and Wales) Regulations 2006
The Gambling Act 2005 (“the Act”) gives licensing authorities various functions in relation to the licensing of premises and issuing of permits for gambling. Under section 349 of the Act, licensing authorities are required to produce, at least every three years, a statement of the principles that they propose to apply when exercising their functions under the Act (“a statement”). A licensing authority may revise a statement at any time during which it has effect.
