(4) (a) The Director-General may, by written notice, require a manufacturer to close his factory if, in his opinion, a direction given or a requirement imposed under section 25 (1) or (2) has not been complied with, and any licence held in respect of that factory shall be suspended until that direction or requirement has, in the Director-General’s opinion, been complied with or until the date of expiry of the licence, whichever is the earlier. (b) Where a licence is suspended under paragraph (a), no refund of the licence fee paid shall be made in respect of the period during which the factory remained closed.
