Essentially, if a licence is deemed to be such that it does not need to be screened in for an appropriate assessment, we are committed to issuing that within as close to six months as possible. If an appropriate assessment is needed, the period will be closer to nine months. It could be much quicker than six months. Sometimes we can issue licences in two months.
