Regulation 13 Surrender of a leaded petrol permit
Subject to the provisions of paragraph (2), a permit holder may surrender a leaded petrol permit by—
giving the Secretary of State not less than one month’s notice in writing of his intention to surrender the permit,
specifying the permit which he wishes to surrender,
specifying a date on which the surrender will take place (“the surrender date”), and
delivering the leaded petrol permit to the Secretary of State by the surrender date.
Following receipt of a notice under paragraph (1), the Secretary of State, if he thinks it is appropriate, may serve a notice on the permit holder specifying a later date as the surrender date.
In exercising the power under paragraph (2), the Secretary of State may not specify a date which is more than five months after the date specified in the notice given under paragraph (1).
A leaded petrol permit surrendered in accordance with this regulation shall cease to authorise the permit holder to distribute and sell that amount of leaded petrol which, in accordance with regulation 9(2)(b), is specified in the permit.
