RBWM Gambling Act 2005 Statement of Principles – Three-Yearly Review

RBWM is a licensing authority under the Gambling Act 2005. Under this Act we
are required to have a policy setting out how we will exercise our functions under
this legislation, in RBWM this is called the RBWM Gambling Act 2005 Statement of
Principles.
The Act requires that, every three years, licensing authorities review and republish
their policy and this is now due.
A consultation on the existing Statement of Principles has been carried out and an
updated and revised version produced. This will be reported to the Licensing Panel
