Section 20

The Minister may, at his discretion, grant licences for keeping larger quantities than are mentioned in sections 18 and 19.

Licences under subsection (1) may be granted subject to such conditions as the Minister thinks fit.

Every licence shall set out the quantity of petroleum or dangerous petroleum which may be kept and the conditions on which the licence is granted.

The places licensed by the Minister shall be subject to such rules as are made by the President.

Every licence shall, unless previously cancelled, be valid for such period of not more than 12 months as may be specified in the licence.

Fees for licences shall be paid to the Minister according to such scale as is prescribed.

If at any time it appears to the Minister that the place licensed has become unfit for the purpose for which it was licensed by reason of the increase of building or of population in its neighbourhood, or that from any other cause any licence should for the public safety be cancelled, or if the person to whom the licence was granted commits a breach of any of the conditions of the licence, the Minister may cancel the licence without notice and without compensation.

The power of granting licences vested in the Minister by this Act may be exercised by any person or persons thereunto authorised by him in writing.

Any person aggrieved by any decision of the Minister in giving, refusing or cancelling any licence may appeal to the President, who may vary, amend or disallow the decision, and in the case of a refusal to grant a licence may direct a licence to be granted.
