Why you need it

We have not yet mapped an enabling instrument for this licence. That is a gap in our graph, not a statement about the law, so we do not guess.

Who issues it

This one does not go to your council. It is issued by Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

Where to apply

Duty, penalty and exemption labels are Guvnor’s analysis of the enabling instrument, not the instrument itself. Fees, forms and conditions are set by the issuing authority — always check the linked source.
