(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Gambling Act 2005 (Commencement No. 6 and Transitional Provisions) Order 2006 (S.I. 2006/3272) (“the 2006 Order”). It provides for article 2(3) of, and Schedule 3 to, the 2006 Order to be omitted. Article 2(3) and Schedule 3 bring into force on 1st June 2007 the provisions of the Gambling Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”) relating to applications for premises licences and provisional statements, as they apply to the new categories of casino established by the 2005 Act. Article 2(3) and Schedule 3 also bring into force on that date other provisions which specifically relate to the new categories of casino established by the 2005 Act. The effect of omitting article 2(3) and Schedule 3 is that the relevant provisions come into force instead on 1st September 2007 in accordance with article 2(4) of the 2006 Order.
This Order also amends article 2(4) of the 2006 Order so that section 89(2) and (3) and section 245 of the 2005 Act are specified as provisions which do not come into force on 1 September 2007.
S.I. 2006/3272, amended by S.I. 2006/3361 and 2007/1157.
