Section 68 of the Deregulation Act 2015 (c. 20) removes the need for the holders of personal licences to apply to renew them. These Regulations also amend the Licensing Act 2003 (Premises Licences and Club Premises Certificates) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/42), the Licensing Act 2003 (Permitted Temporary Activities)(Notices) Regulations 2005 (S.I. 2005/2918) and the Licensing Act 2003 (Persistent Selling of Alcohol to Children)(Prescribed Form of Closure Notice) Regulations 2012 (S.I. 2012/963) so as to replace certain forms in those Regulations in order to reflect the following changes in legislation. Section 85 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (c. 10) removes the limit on the amount of a fine that a magistrates’ court can impose. The Immigration Act 2016 (c. 19) introduces measures to regulate the granting of personal licences to those convicted of certain immigration offences or who have been required to pay a civil immigration penalty, and to prevent those without an entitlement to live and work in the UK from holding a personal or premises licence. These changes are made by way of amendment to the Licensing Act 2003 (c. 17). The Legislative Reform (Entertainment Licensing) Order 2014 (S.I. 2014/3253) also amends the Licensing Act 2003 so that in certain circumstances the provision of regulated entertainment no longer needs to be authorised under the 2003 Act.
