Tied Pubs (Scotland) Act 2021 implementation - food and drink: equality impact assessment
An equality impact assessment (EQIA) which considers the potential impacts of the implementation of the Tied Pubs (Scotland) Act 2021 on individuals with protected characteristics.
The Scope of the EQIA
This EqIA covers both the secondary legislation required to implement the Tied Pubs (Scotland) Act 2021 and the set up of the Scottish Pubs Code Adjudicator.
This EqIA will need to be revisited as policy and implementation continues, to ensure that equality is safeguarded and the Scottish Government meets its Public Sector Equality Duty. We have revisited the EqIA in 2023 and 2024 due to delays in implementing the Tied Pubs (Scotland) Act 2021. The delays were as a result of a court action brought forward by initially three then two pub-owning businesses.
The EqIA draws upon a range of sources, from industry information to survey reports to consultation responses.
