Regulatory Review Group Title: Review of the Knife Dealer's Licensing Scheme: Report Summary: The Regulatory Review Group (RRG) works to promote and develop a culture and environment in Scotland where both business and Government, in all its forms, work together to create better regulation for all. In delivering this, the remit of the RRG includes reviewing existing regulations where this learning could help improve the regulatory landscape. On 1 June 2010 a new mandatory licensing scheme for knife dealers was introduced which applied to the sale of non-domestic knives. This was introduced as part of measures to tackle Scotland's knife carrying culture. Concerns about the implementation of this licensing scheme were subsequently brought to the attention of RRG. After discussion, RRG agreed to set up a sub group to undertake a review of the implementation of the legislation in respect of the impact on business and local authorities, and alignment with the principles of better regulation. RRG drew from its experience of previous reviews and looked to identify key aspects of better regulation. In particular, the sub group was keen to understand the extent to which any problems had been identified at an early stage in the development of legislation or whether implementation produced any unintended consequences. As well as analysing Scottish Government consultations associated with the development of the legislation, the sub group surveyed local licensing authorities. Representing licensees, the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) also surveyed their members for views on the scheme. Views were also sought from other relevant stakeholders including the Law Society of Scotland. Details: Edinburgh: Regulatory Review Group, 2013. 36p.
