To ask the Scottish Executive what the remit is of the independent task group reviewing the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982.
Answer
The remit of the task group is to re-examine the principles and mechanisms of licensing as they are set out in the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982, and, having done so, review the existing provisions and any proposals for change submitted to the Scottish Executive. In doing so, the task group is required to ensure that the provisions are European Convention on Human Rights compliant and that they properly apply the principles of the Enforcement Concordat, which provides for fair, practical and consistent enforcement policy and practice.
