EXPLANATORY NOTE

(This note is not part of the Order)


This Order makes provision in respect of the duration of licences issued by the Security Industry Authority under section 8 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001.

Article 3 of this Order provides that where such a licence is issued to persons engaged in front line licensable conduct in respect of those licensable activities contained in paragraph 3 (immobilisation of vehicles) or paragraph 3A (restriction and removal of vehicles) of Schedule 2 to the 2001 Act, it shall remain in force for a period of one year beginning on the day on which it is granted. This provision was previously made under the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Duration of Licence) Order 2005.

Article 4 of this Order provides that where such a licence is issued to persons by way of renewal, it shall remain in force for the sum of the period of time for which the previous licence was issued and the maximum period for which the previous licence could have remained in force after the renewal was granted had that previous licence remained in force for the full period of time for which it was issued. For this purpose, a renewal can only be granted where the new licence covers the same category of licensable activity and the same category of licensable conduct as the previous licence.

Article 5 revokes the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Duration of Licence) Order 2005.
