Lord James Douglas-Hamilton

asked the Solicitor-General for Scotland what advice is given to procurators fiscal on exclusion orders under the Licensed Premises (Exclusion of Certain Persons) Act 1980.

The Solicitor-General for Scotland

When the Licensed Premises (Exclusion of Certain Persons) Act 1980 came into operation on 30 June 1980, procurators fiscal were instructed to move the court to make an exclusion order in appropriate cases. As a result of recent representation made by the Scottish Licensed Trade Association, procurators fiscal have been reminded of the need to bring this provision to the attention of the court.
