The question

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it plans to introduce standardised licence application forms and issue guidance to applicants relating to the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005.

The answer

Answered by Kenny MacAskill on 21 Jul 2010 · 22 days after it was lodged, on time

Standardised forms are already in place by virtue of secondary legislation. These include the forms for premises licence applications, personal licence applications, a standard template for operating plans and a specification for layout plans. I have already given an undertaking to review forms in light of transition. I have accepted the Regulatory Review Groups offer to begin this process. Guidance to applicants is also available and we are happy to consider whether that needs to be revised.
