I suspect because this is a devolved matter, and it is up to the Scottish Parliament to decide upon this in Scotland.Why would it the not apply to those in Scotland?
I'm afraid I have some bad newsJohn wrote:I believe there is good news about the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act. Government amendment 185F has been added to a Bill going through Parliament.
Have a look at this section of Lords Hansard, and then search for 185F. Reading down you will see a list of new spent periods, including just one year for a fine.
These Government amendments having been added to the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Bill, Lord Dholakia's own Bill, mentioned earlier in this topic, will no doubt now be dropped.
It does not really matter if 185F make spending terms shorter if UKBA is wholly outside of the act.These reforms exempt UKBA from the ROA enabling them to operate wholly outside the Act and take into account information relating to an applicant’s spent and unspent convictions
