Fireworks and Pyrotechnics Articles (Scotland) Bill: business and regulatory impact assessment

13. Legal Aid Impact Test

13.1 While the Bill creates a number of new offences, it is not considered that there will be a notable impact on the Legal Aid Fund. As noted in paragraph 72 of the Financial Memorandum that accompanies the Bill, it is estimated that the increase in the number of court prosecutions as a result of offences created by measures within the Bill will be relatively low. The impact on the Legal Aid Fund will continue to be reviewed.
