The registrar must not issue a permit authorising a person to use specified premises for the purposes of a militaria fair unless satisfied that the premises proposed to be used are suitable for such a purpose.

In considering whether premises are suitable for subsection (1), the registrar must have regard to the following considerations:

the security of the premises generally, and against unauthorised entry in particular.

A permit issued under this section—

must specify the period during which the permit-holder is authorised to conduct the militaria fair; and

must specify the people authorised to possess and, if relevant, use a specified prohibited weapon or prohibited article for the purposes of the fair; and

authorises the people specified in accordance with paragraph (b) and the permit-holder to possess and, if so specified in the permit, use a specified prohibited weapon or prohibited article for the purposes of the fair during the period specified in accordance with paragraph (a).

In this section:

militaria fair means a fair approved by the registrar for the purpose of exhibiting prohibited weapons or prohibited articles and related items.
