Regulation 5 Period of validity of a licenceI1

Subject to paragraphs (2) and (5) and to regulation 8, the period of validity of a licence to participate in the experiment begins on the date of issue specified in the licence and ends with 6 October 2031.

If the participant’s licence specifies a shorter period of validity, the licence ceases to be valid at the end of the date specified in the licence.

If the participant intends to cease participation in the experiment, they must give notice in writing to the Welsh Ministers, specifying the date on which participation will cease.

The date specified for the purpose of paragraph (3) must be a date earlier than the date on which the participant’s licence would otherwise cease to be valid in accordance with paragraph (1) or (2).

Where the participant informs the Welsh Ministers that they intend to cease participation in the experiment, the participant’s licence ceases to be valid at the end of the date specified in the notice referred to in paragraph (3).
