(1)

The Minister may revoke a licence granted by him under regulation 3 in respect of any premises and, where appropriate, require the withdrawal of the equipment for application of the health mark if, after an inspection of, or an inquiry into, the operation or structure of the premises and a report by an OVS or veterinary officer, he is satisfied that—

(a)

the conditions of hygiene at those premises are inadequate and the occupier has failed to take the necessary measures to make good the shortcomings within such period as the Minister may specify;

(b)

any requirement of these Regulations as to hygiene has not been complied with and inadequate or no action has been taken to ensure that a similar breach does not occur in future;

(c)

any agreement made by the occupier with the Minister to carry out and complete any works referred to in regulation 3(2)(a) has not been complied with;

(d)

any condition attached to the licence in accordance with regulation 3(5) or (6) has not been complied with; or

(e)

the premises no longer fall within these Regulations because the business carried on at the premises has ceased to include the consignment or sale for consignment to a relevant EEA State of wild game meat for human consumption.

(2)

The Minister shall forthwith notify the occupier in writing of his decision under paragraph (1) above to revoke any licence granted under these Regulations, of the date on which any revocation is to take effect and of the reasons for such revocation.

(3)

Any notification under paragraph (2) above must state the right of appeal to a Meat Hygiene Appeals Tribunal, for which provision is made in regulation 5, and the time within which an appeal must be lodged.

(4)

In paragraph (2) above “occupier”, in relation to a proposed revocation by virtue of paragraph (1) (e) above where the premises are vacant, means the last person known to the Minister to have carried on at the premises the business for which the licence was granted or his successor in respect of that business.
