516/39

1. Draft Explosives Law

The  Minister  for  Home  Affairs  had  notified  the  Chairman  that  the Panel's amendment to P.96/2014, Draft Explosives Law 201- would require the Connetable of the Parish to be consulted in relation to every application for new premises and the annual applications for a renewal of licences for magazines. This was overly bureaucratic and would burden the Home Affairs Department.

The Minister proposed a move from annual licences, to licences for three years and the Connetable would then be consulted on every application  (including  a  renewal)  and  notified  of  every  successful application.

As the law leaves the period of the licence open, a three year licence was  considered  more  appropriate  than  annual  renewal,  in  order  to reduce the level of bureaucracy.

The Panel approved of the suggested move to three year licences.
