In Scotland you have to be a fit and proper person to hold a licence to sell or authorise the sell of alcohol from licensed premises, therefore the Police will be informed by the Licensing Board of your application and conduct a (PNC) Police National Computer check on each individual applying for a licence.

You will normally be contacted directly by the police and asked to attend an interview or in some cases you may be interview over the telephone mainly to ensure you have full knowledge of the Scottish Licensing Act and to discuss any concerns the Police may have.

Once the Police and Licensing Board are satisfied your Personal Licence will be granted.

Gloucester pubs pass underage drinkers test!

Underage drinkers are out of luck in Gloucester as 19 pubs, clubs and off licence premises successfully passed an underage test purchase campaign. The police launched operation "Nite-X it involved 3 teams of Special Constables tackling underage drinking, binge drinking and other alcohol related disorder. Sergeant Liz Lovell of Gloucester Constabulary said,"there were some good results especially the fact that none of the premises tested served underage drinkers. This is the first time since the operation has been running that there has been a 100% pass rate".

A spokesperson for Personal Licence Training said, " We  intend to back Gloucester Police and Trading Standards and will assist in introducing a Challenge 25 policy to all Gloucester Pubs.
