Explanatory Note

These Regulations amend schedule 1 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Prescribed Police Stations) (Scotland) Regulations 2017 (“the principal Regulations”).

By virtue of section 87(1) of the Sexual Offences Act 2003, relevant offenders must fulfil their notification requirements under Part 2 of that Act by attending any police station which is prescribed for this purpose in regulations. The principal Regulations prescribe those police stations, which are listed in schedule 1 of those Regulations. These Regulations amend the principal Regulations by adding Cambuslang Police Station to the prescribed list and removing Rutherglen Police Station from that list.
