#### 101 Ministerial directions concerning licences (1) The Minister’s power to give directions to the Commission under section 89D extends to directions concerning any matter relating to the grant of licences under this Part. Without limiting the matters the directions may deal with, the Minister may give directions concerning: (a) criteria and procedures for the grant of such licences; or (b) the scope of licences and the conditions to which licences having a particular scope may be expressed to be subject; or (c) the exercise by the Commission of the power to vary the conditions to which such licences are subject; or (d) criteria and procedures for the extension, suspension or revocation of such licences or for varying the scope of such licences; or (e) publication of notices about any grant, extension, suspension or revocation of such licences or for varying the scope of such licences or the conditions to which they are subject; or (f) requirements to be observed by the Commission in relation to the keeping of records, and the periodic reporting of particulars, in relation to such licences. > Note: Criteria for the grant of a licence may address issues relating not only to the licence applied for but also to other licences that have been granted or that are being sought. (2) Directions given by the Minister to the Commission under section 89D concerning licences are legislative instruments to which section 42 (disallowance) of the Legislation Act 2003 applies.
