The Petroleum (Transfer of Licences) Act 1936 (26 Geo. 5 & 1 Edw. 8. c. 27) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which empowered local authorities, that had granted licences to keep petroleum spirit, to transfer a licence to another person or persons.

Contents

The Petroleum (Transfer of Licences) Act (Northern Ireland) 1937 (1 Edw. 8 & 1 Geo. 6. c. 4 (N.I.)) is an act of Parliament of Northern Ireland which made provision for the transfer of petroleum spirit licences in Northern Ireland.

Background

The Petroleum (Consolidation) Act 1928 had prohibited the keeping of petroleum spirit without a licence. [1] Local authorities were empowered under the 1928 act to grant petroleum-spirit licences, and they could attach such conditions as they thought expedient to such licences. In the case of a change of ownership of premises the licensing authority would transfer the licence to the new occupier. However, legal advice by the Home Office identified that in the absence of any express authorisation in the 1928 act, there was in fact no power to transfer a licence from a holder to another person. The 1936 Act remedied this defect and gave effect to the proper transfer of licences. [1]

Petroleum (Transfer of Licences) Act 1936

The Petroleum (Transfer of Licences) Act 1936 (26 Geo. 5 & 1 Edw. 8 c. 27) [2] received royal assent on 14 July 1936. Its long title is: 'An Act to make provision with respect to the transfer of petroleum-spirit licences granted under the Petroleum (Consolidation) Act, 1928'.

Provisions

The act comprised two sections. Section 1 empowered local authorities, and the Secretary of State, to transfer a petroleum spirit licence to another licensee. The act was retrospective and applied to licences transferred since the passing of the 1928 act. Section 2 construed the 1936 act to be one with the 1928 act and may be cited together as the Petroleum (Regulation) Acts 1928 and 1936. [2]
