  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nArticle 2 of this Order sets 30th November 2007 as the date by which each Licensing Board is to publish its licensing policy statement in respect of the 3-year period running from that date.\nThe remaining articles of this Order make provision as to transitional matters in connection with implementation of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the Act”). Articles 3 and 4 make the Licensing Boards established under the Act responsible for continuing to carry out functions under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1976 and allow members of such a Board to take part in proceedings under that 1976 Act prior to receiving training prescribed for the purposes of the Act. Article 5 makes transitional provision in connection with the establishment of Local Licensing Forums. Article 6 removes the restriction under which only the chief constable of the Fife police force can grant authorisations under section 105 of the Act for a person under 18 to make a test purchase of alcohol.",
