A revised Statement of Principles was agreed by the West Lothian Licensing Board in December 2024, following a review including a consultation process with stakeholders and members of the public.
The updated version came into effect on 31 January 2025 and whilst it does not contain any significant updates in relation to the Board's functions under the Gambling (Scotland) Act 2005, anyone applying should ensure they read the revised statement in advance.
