Scottish Pubs Code Adjudicator (Duty to Publish Certain Information) Regulations 2024 and Scottish Pubs Code Adjudicator (Miscellaneous Listings) Order 2024: Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment

Footnotes

1 This estimate is based on a partial return from Scottish Beer and Pub Association members in May 2023 and applies a 7% reduction to the number of tied pubs since 2019 (2019 figure from Policy Memorandum to the Tied Pubs (Scotland) Act 2021), which mirrors the reduction in the number of all pubs in Scotland between 2019 and 2023, based on ONS UK Business Count number of local units and using industry code 56.302 Public houses and bars via NOMIS.

2 Estimate based on pub-owning businesses who responded to the Scottish pubs code consultation, returns from the Scottish Pub and Beer Association and the list of pub-owning businesses mentioned Policy Memorandum to the Tied Pubs (Scotland) Act 2021.

3 As of 2023, there were 4,380 Scottish licenced premises based on figures from the British Beer and Pub Association. The differences between ONS and BBPA/SBPA data is understood to be due to a difference in terminology, i.e. the BBPA/SBPA having a broader definition of what constitutes a pub which includes some hotels (pubs with rooms), inns and restaurants.
