7 Small firework factory licences. E+W+S
(1)The power under section forty–nine of the principal Act of granting a licence for a small firework factory shall be transferred from the local authority to the Secretary of State and, accordingly, for any reference in that section to the local authority there shall be substituted a reference to the Secretary of State:
Provided that the Secretary of State before granting a licence under that section shall consult with the local authority as to whether the proposed site, construction of the factory and amount of explosive is in accordance with the Order in Council regulating small firework factories.
(2)Nothing in this section shall invalidate any licence granted before the commencement of this Act but an application to be made after the commencement of this Act for the renewal of a licence granted under the said section forty–nine shall be made to the Secretary of State and not to the local authority and accordingly in section eighteen of the principal Act, as applied by the said section forty–nine, for the references to the local authority there shall be substituted references to the Secretary of State.
(3)In accordance with the foregoing subsections, in section forty–eight of the principal Act for the words “a licence from the local authority under this Part of this Act” and for the words “such licence from the local authority” there shall be substituted in each case the words “ a licence under the following section ”.
