Scotland - Consultation launched for creation of 'Sexual Entertainment Venues' licensing system

The Scottish Government has launched a consultation with a view to creating a dedicated licensing system for sexual entertainment venues (i.e. those offering lap dancing, strip shows, peep shows and live sex shows etc). There is already a similar dedicated system in place in England and Wales, of course. According to the consultation itself there are currently around 20 of these venues in Scotland.

Responses to the consultation can be made to licensing.consultation@scotland.gsi.gov.uk.

The consultation closes on 24 September 2013 and can be found here.
