Radiation Safety Act 1975

On written application being made by any person the chairman of the Council may grant to the person named in the application a temporary permit which may be made subject to the like conditions, restrictions or limitations and shall have the same effect as a licence granted or registration effected for the period specified in that permit, being a period not exceeding 3 months, unless sooner revoked, suspended or surrendered.

Where the chairman of the Council exercises his powers under this section he shall notify the Council as soon as is reasonably practicable in the circumstances, and the Council has the like powers in relation to such a permit as the Council has in relation to a licence granted or registration effected by the Council.
