HC Deb 09 December 1941 vol 376 c1368
6. Mr. De la Bère

asked the President of the Board of Trade what steps he is taking to give effect to the recommendation in the interim Report of the Retail Trade Committee that persons who have been refused a licence under the Location of Retail Businesses Order should have the right of appeal to the Board of Trade?

Sir A. Duncan

If an applicant is aggrieved by a decision of one of the licensing committees he will have the right, by leave of the committee concerned or of the Board of Trade, to have his case reconsidered.

Sir A. Duncan
