Mr. Hugh Creegan:

Our ability to influence those types of licences is limited. We cannot determine the route. Basically, when we get an application from somebody, the Deputy is right that it is a binary choice, subject to certain checks, whether we should license or not license that person. We try to take things into account, such as different competition and different usages, but when it comes to forcing somebody to do what the Deputy wants, that it is beyond our policy capability. It would require some additional changes in legislation to give us the power to do something like that. We just simply do not have it at the moment. It is, more or less, a binary choice.
