Registration in the register of scutch-milling premises.
|
6.—(1) Any person who carries on or proposes to carry on the business of scutching flax in premises in the area to which this Act applies may apply to the Minister, in the prescribed form and manner, for the registration of such premises in the register of scutch-milling premises.
|
|
| |
(2) The Minister may refuse, on any of the following grounds, an application for the registration of premises in the register of scutch-milling premises, that is to say:—
|
|
| |
(a) that, in the opinion of the Minister, such premises are not suitable or are not adequately equipped for carrying on therein the business of scutch-milling;
|
|
| |
(b) that, in the opinion of the Minister, such premises or the equipment thereof are not in good repair, order, and condition;
|
|
| |
(c) that the Minister is not satisfied that the applicant is competent to carry on efficiently the business of scutch-milling and employs in such premises a sufficient number of persons who are competent to scutch flax efficiently;
|
|
| |
(d) that, having regard to the number of persons or the number of premises or both such numbers already registered in the said register, the registration of the applicant in the said register in respect of the premises to which the application relates is not, in the opinion of the Minister, in the public interest;
|
|
| |
(e) that the applicant was previously registered in the register of scutch-milling premises (whether in respect of the same or other premises) and his registration therein was cancelled;
|
|
| |
(f) that the relevant provisions of this Act are or have not been complied with.
|
|
| |
(3) Whenever an application is made to the Minister under this section for registration in the register of scutch-milling premises, the Minister shall, unless he refuses such application on a ground authorised by the next preceding sub-section of this section, register in the said register the premises to which such application relates and register in the said register the applicant as the proprietor of such premises.
