Explanatory note

These Regulations amend the Schedule to the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Prescribed Police Stations) (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (“the principal Regulations”).

By virtue of section 87(1) of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, relevant offenders must fulfil notification requirements under that Act by attending any police station in their local area which is prescribed for this purpose in regulations. The principal Regulations prescribe those police stations. These Regulations amend the principal Regulations by removing Craignure Police Station located in the Isle of Mull from the list of prescribed police station in the Strathclyde police area, and add Cambuslang Police Station in Glasgow, Tobermory Police Station in the Isle of Mull and Lamlash Police Station located in the Isle of Arran to the list of prescribed police stations for that police area.
