Background
The Tobacco Sellers Act 1946 amended the Tobacco Sellers Act 1928 by providing that licences to buy or sell tobacco, cigarettes, cigars or snuff were to be issued by the Department of Labour and not by Clerks of Courts of Petty Sessions as formerly. Licensed victuallers did not require such licences.
The Labour and Industry (Fees) Act 1964, operative from 1 January 1965, repealed the Tobacco Sellers Act 1958 so that tobacco sellers were no longer required to be registered or pay registration fees.
