  "text": "(This note is not part of the Regulations)\nSection 129(1) of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the Act”) provides power to prescribe by regulations what offences are to count as a “relevant offence” in that Act. That phrase is used in a number of places in the Act – for example, section 21(3) and (4) requires the appropriate chief constable to notify a Licensing Board whether a person applying for a premises licence has or has not been convicted of any relevant offence.\nThese Regulations specify those offences which are to be relevant offences for the purposes of the Act (regulation 2 and the Schedule). Regulation 3 makes supplemental provision about the timescales for giving notification of a relevant offence in certain cases where a sentence of imprisonment is imposed on a date later than the date of the conviction in question.",
