Mr. Ronnie Downes:

It is an ex-ante process. We go through a series of checks to see if the specified user and the specified use stack up. In some cases it is also an iterative process because with a lot of applications for licences, they have to come back again and again. If it were the case that something were to materialise that would cast some doubt or aspersion on our grounds for confidence in originally issuing one, it would have implications for the future.
