Explanatory note

EXPLANATORY NOTE

These Regulations amend the Private Security Industry Act 2001 (Exemption) (Aviation Security) Regulations 2010 (“the 2010 Regulations”). The 2010 Regulations exempt certain persons from the licensing requirement under section 3 of the Private Security Industry Act 2001 on the basis that suitable alternative arrangements are in place which make it unnecessary for those persons to be licensed.

The amendments made remove the requirement that the licensable conduct is being conducted in a “security restricted area”. The result is that the exemption covers all persons engaging in licensable conduct who are provided to implement or be responsible for the implementation of screening, access control or other security controls having been recruited and trained in accordance with Commission Regulation (EU) No 185/2010.
