Contraception, Sterilisation, and Abortion Act 1977 (Reprinted 1992)
[Abortion] Section 25. Cancellation of licences
25. Cancellation of licences—(1) In any case where the Supervisory
Committee believes, in respect of any licensed institution,—
(a) That it no longer meets the requirements of subsection (1) or (as the case may require) subsection (2) of section 21 of this Act; or
(b) That the holder of the licence has failed to take all reasonable and practicable steps to ensure that the provisions of the abortion law were complied with in the institution,—
it may, by notice in writing addressed to the holder, call upon him to show cause why the licence should not be cancelled.
(2) If, after considering any representations made to it and evidence put before it by the holder of the licence, and all such other matters as it considers relevant, the Supervisory Committee is satisfied of
either of the matters specified in subsection (1) of this section, it may cancel the licence.
(3) Where the Supervisory Committee cancels any licence, it shall notify the holder accordingly, and shall, if requested to do so by the holder, give to the holder a written statement of its reasons for cancelling the licence.
