# The Liquor Licensing (Fees) (Scotland) Variation Order 1992, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order varies the Liquor Licensing (Fees) (Scotland) Order 1990 which determines the fees payable by an applicant to a licensing board under the Licensing (Scotland) Act 1976 in respect of matters listed in the Schedule to that Order.
Article 2 deletes the references in that Schedule to transfers of licences under section 25(1) and (1B) of the 1976 Act. Section 25(1) was amended and new subsections (1A) and (1B) were substituted in section 25 by the Licensing (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 1992 (c. 18). These changes provided a new procedure for the permanent and temporary transfer of liquor licences. Accordingly, Article 2 also inserts new entries in the Schedule to the 1990 Order for the determination of fees payable in respect of applications under the new provisions.
The new procedures provided by the 1992 Act will come into force on 15th April 1992. However, section 25(1B) as originally enacted will continue to apply (by virtue of article 4 of the Licensing (Amendment) (Scotland) Act 1992 (Commencement and Savings) Order 1992 (S.I. 1992/819)) in relation to any licence temporarily transferred, before 15th April 1992, under section 25(1) of the 1976 Act. Accordingly, article 3 of this Order preserves the 1990 Order for the purposes of determining the fee payable on the permanent transfer (under section 25(1B) as so saved) of such a licence.
