The Private Security Appeal Board, established under the Private Security Services Act 2004, is the statutory body with responsibility for hearing appeals against decisions of the Private Security Authority. The Appeal Board is an independent body under the aegis of my Department. I have no role, therefore, in relation to the hearing of individual appeals by the Appeal Board.

I understand, however, that the next meeting of the Appeal Board is expected to take place shortly, at which point a decision in the appeal referred to by the Deputy is expected to be made.
