The Private Security Appeal Board (PSAB) is an independent body established under the Private Security Services Act 2004, as amended, to consider appeals against decisions of the Private Security Authority. The PSAB is independent in the performance of its functions in accordance with the Act and, accordingly, it would not be appropriate for me to intervene in any way with respect to the conduct of an appeal with the Appeals Board. I am informed that the PSAB has been in correspondence with the appellant in this case.

I wish to inform the Deputy that the current term of office of the Private Security Appeal Board has expired. The necessary arrangements are currently being put in place to appoint a new Board. When the appointments process has been completed the company concerned will be contacted directly by the PSAB regarding its appeal.
