Our records show the following:

Period a) 20 Licences were issued, 12 Licences were fully utilised; 3 licences were partially utilised and 5 licences were not utilised;

Period b) 28 Licences were issued, 11 Licences were fully utilised; 7 licences were partially utilised and 10 licences were not utilised.
