10. Every applicant for any such license or for an operator's certificate
    shall furnish to the satisfaction of the Minister such technical or other
    information as may be required by him; and, in addition thereto,

    (a.) Evidence of British nationality;
    (b.) A reference as to character from a reputable citizen not related to
    the applicant;
    (c.) Date and place of birth;
    (d.) Full name and address;
    (e.) Information as to whether the license is required on his own behalf
    or on behalf of an association or corporation; and
    (f.) A statement as to the purpose of the proposed radio station.

11. The required information having been inserted on the proper form,
    the application shall be signed by the applicant and verified by a statutory
    declaration made by him.

12. The application shall then be forwarded to the nearest District
    Radio Inspector, who will satisfy himself as to the qualifications of the
    applicants and will then despatch the application to headquarters for
    consideration. Should the application be approved, the applicant will be
    notified that he may proceed to erect the station. Upon the completion
    of the erection, notification to that effect shall be sent to the District Radio
    Inspector. Where deemed necessary the District Radio Inspector shall
    inspect the station to determine whether it fulfils the requirements of the
    regulations. If in his opinion the station complies with the regulations
    and is satisfactory in all respects, the District Radio Inspector shall issue
    the license accordingly. The licensee may then, and not until then, operate
    the station, or permit the station to be operated strictly in accordance with
    these regulations.

13. Where it is impracticable for the District Radio Inspector to have
    the completed radio station inspected within a reasonable time, and where
    he has reason to believe that the regulations have been complied with, he
    may issue a temporary permit for the operation of the station in accordance
    with these regulations until it is duly inspected and approved.

LICENSES AND OPERATORS' CERTIFICATES.

14. The license shall specify all information necessary to the identification
    of the licensee and of the licensed radio station, and, in addition,
    shall include technical particulars of the radio station and of the power,
    wave-length, and types of transmission authorized therein.

15. The license for a radio station shall remain in operation for a period
    of twelve months from the date of issue.

16. An application for renewal of a license for a radio station shall be
    made through the District Radio Inspector on the form provided for the
    purpose, and shall be accompanied by the amount of the annual fee for the
    ensuing period.

17. An amateur operator's certificate is not transferable; and the license
    for a radio station shall not be transferred except upon the approval of the
    Minister.

18. In the event of the loss, mutilation, or destruction from any cause
    of an amateur operator's certificate or of a license for a radio station, application
    for a duplicate shall be made to the District Radio Inspector, and the
    applicant shall forward a statutory declaration setting out the circumstances
    connected with the loss, mutilation, or destruction of the certificate or
    license. The application shall be investigated by the District Radio Inspector,
    who will forward the same to headquarters for consideration. If
    it be decided to issue a duplicate, the certificate or license shall be endorsed
    "Duplicate" across the face. A fee of 5s. shall be payable for the duplicate
    certificate or license.

19. The holder of an amateur operator's certificate shall be required,
    during the holding of the said certificate, to maintain his proficiency in
    the subjects covered by the certificate; and where a District Radio Inspector
    has reason to believe that this regulation is not being complied with,
    and the non-compliance therewith is injurious to the public interest,
    he may order a re-examination of the holder of the amateur operator's
    certificate with a view to it being determined whether the said certificate
    should be suspended or revoked by the Minister; and the Minister may
    take action accordingly.

20. The Minister may, at his discretion, revoke or suspend, for such
    period as he deems fit, any operator's certificate or any license for a radio
    station where it is found that the operator or licensee at the date the certificate
    or license was granted to him was ineligible or has since become ineligible
    for a certificate or license, or where in his opinion the provisions of
    the regulations governing the issuance of a certificate or license have been
    disregarded or violated, or where undue interference with the operation of
