The Gambling Act 2005 (“the Act”) gives the Scottish Ministers powers to make regulations which provide for conditions to be attached to premises licences under sections 167 and 168 of the Act. Two types of conditions may be attached. The conditions attached to premises licences under section 168 will attach to all specified types of premises licence, unless they are excluded by the licensing authority responsible for issuing the premises licence (“default conditions”). The conditions attached to premises licences under section 167 will attach to all specified types of premises licence and can only be amended or excluded by further regulations made by the Scottish Ministers (“mandatory conditions”).
