Immediate approach to tests.
(From Off Licence News)
Byline: Laura Clark
Scottish retailers will be told immediately whether they have passed or failed a test purchase as the scheme is rolled out across the country.
It will be down to police to give the news as they will administer test-purchasing in Scotland according to guidelines issued by the Scottish government. The approach differs from that of England and Wales, where councils var y in their stance and many only tell drinks shops if they have failed the stings.
Stores that fail will be re-tested within two weeks and second failures will be reported to the new licensing boards for sanctions .
The guidelines also advise police that test purchase volunteers should tell the truth when challenged about their age. Some authorities in England and Wales have encouraged children to lie, to create a realistic scenario.
The Scottish government has also confirmed licensing boards will have some authority to set fee levels locally for the licensing regime. Scotland's licensing act comes into effect in 2009, but retailers can apply for the new personal and premises licences from next month.
