EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend paragraph 13 of schedule 3 to the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. Paragraph 13 of that Act imposes restrictions on the areas within premises in which alcohol for consumption off the premises may be displayed. Regulation 2 provides an exemption from these restrictions for visitor attractions forming part of a manufacturing site and for visitor attractions that principally provide information about and promote the history and attributes of a particular alcoholic drink or a particular category of alcoholic drink.
Paragraph 13 of schedule 3 was inserted by S.S.I. 2007/546. Back [2]
