Article 6 Power to refuse licence
A local authority or the Secretary of State on appeal may refuse to grant a licence (otherwise than by way of renewal of an existing licence as to which provision is made in Part IV of this Order) to an applicant —
if they are not satisfied that his arrangements for the handling, treatment, storage and distribution of milk are such as would enable him to comply with all relevant provisions contained in any enactment relating to milk and dairies or any order (including this Order) or regulations or byelaws made thereunder; or
if they are satisfied that the applicant, by reason of having been convicted of any offence under any enactment relating to milk and dairies or any order or regulations or byelaws made thereunder, is unsuitable to hold a licence.
