    (a) the provision of facilities for gambling, or
 
    (b) a person who provides facilities for gambling.
     (2) In this section "management office" and "operational function" have the same meaning as in section 80.
 
128    Application of provisions of Part 5
 
     (1) The provisions of Part 5 (other than section 65(2), (4) and (5)) shall apply to a personal licence as they apply to an operating licence, with-
 
 
    (a) the modifications and exclusions specified in this Part,
 
    (b) such modifications and exclusions as the Secretary of State may specify by regulations, and
 
    (c) any other necessary modifications.
     (2) Regulations under a provision of Part 5-
 
 
    (a) may make different provision for purposes of this Part and for purposes of that Part, and
 
    (b) in making provision for purposes of this Part, may make different provision in relation to personal licences authorising-
 
      (i) the performance of different kinds of function, or
 
      (ii) the performance of functions in different circumstances.
129    Exemption for small-scale operators
 
     (1) A condition may not be attached to an operating licence under section 75, 77 or 78 requiring possession of a personal licence if the licensee is a small-scale operator.
 
     (2) In this section "small-scale operator" shall have such meaning as the Secretary of State may prescribe by regulations.
 
     (3) Regulations under subsection (2) may, in particular, make provision by reference to-
 
 
    (a) the size or value of business carried on, or expected to be carried on, in reliance on an operating licence;
 
    (b) the number of persons employed, or expected to be employed, by the licensee.
     (4) A constable or enforcement officer may under section 108(1) require a small-scale operator to produce his operating licence-
 
 
    (a) within a specified period, or
 
    (b) while the operator is carrying on a licensed activity, immediately.
130    Application
 
     (1) A direction under section 69(2)(c) or (f) (as applied by section 128) may, in particular, require that an application-
 
 
    (a) be signed by the applicant's employer;
 
    (b) contain or be accompanied by information provided by the applicant's employer or relating to his employment.
     (2) The Commission may under section 73(1)(a) (as applied by section 128) require an applicant to obtain information from his employer.
 
     (3) For the purposes of this section a reference to an applicant's employer is a reference to any person for whom the applicant, in the course of a business (but whether or not under a contract of employment)-
 
 
    (a) provides services,
 
    (b) has provided services, or
 
    (c) intends to provide services.
     (4) Neither this section nor any other provision of this Act shall be treated as preventing a person who is not employed from applying for a personal licence.
 
131    Duration

     (1) Section 100 shall not have effect in relation to personal licences.

    (b) different circumstances.

     (1) A court which may order the forfeiture of an individual's personal licence under section 115 (as applied by section 128) may, whether or not it makes an order for forfeiture, make an order disqualifying the individual from holding a personal licence for a specified period, not exceeding ten years, beginning with the date of the order.
 
     (2) The Commission shall not issue a personal licence to a person while a disqualification order under this section has effect in respect of him.
 
     (3) Subsections (2) to (5) of section 115 shall have effect in relation to an order under this section (and in relation to a licence held by the person disqualified) as they have effect in relation to an order under that section (and in relation to the licence forfeited).
