§ 27. Mr. Wilkesasked the Minister of Food whether, when a food retailers' licence has been revoked because of a criminal conviction in respect of food offences, he exercises any discretion to withhold a licence from a subsequent purchaser of the business if grounds exist for a belief that the new purchaser will carry on the business on behalf of the previous licence holder or maintain any financial or managerial connection with him.
§ Mr. StracheyYes.
