By virtue of section 87(1) of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, relevant offenders must fulfil their notification requirements under Part 2 of that Act by attending any police station which is prescribed for this purpose in regulations. The principal Regulations prescribe those police stations, which are listed in schedule 1 of those Regulations. These Regulations amend the principal Regulations by adding Cambuslang Police Station to the prescribed list and removing Rutherglen Police Station from that list.
