(a)general or granted to a category of persons or to a particular person;

(b)subject to conditions; and

(c)of indefinite duration or subject to an expiry date.

(2) The Governor may vary or revoke a licence at any time.

(3) On the grant, variation or revocation of a licence, the Governor must—

(a)in the case of a licence granted to a particular person, give written notice of the grant, variation or revocation to that person, and

(b)in the case of a general licence or a licence granted to a category of persons, take such steps as the Governor considers appropriate to publicise the grant, variation or revocation of the licence.

(4) A person who, for the purpose of obtaining a licence, knowingly or recklessly makes any statement or gives any document or information which is false in a material particular commits an offence.

(5) A licence granted in connection with the application for which the false statement was made or the false document or information given is void from the time it was granted.

(6) A person (“P”) commits an offence if, having acted under the authority of a licence, P fails to comply with any conditions in the licence.

(7) P is not guilty of an offence under paragraph (6) if—

(a)the licence was modified after the completion of the act authorised by the licence, and

(b)the alleged failure to comply with a condition in the licence would not have been a failure if the licence had not been so modified.
