Restriction on making arrangements for adoptions. 30.(1) Subject to the following provisions of this Part, where application is made in the prescribed manner by or on behalf of an adoption society to the Ministry of Home Affairs (in this Act referred to as "the Ministry"), and there is furnished therewith the prescribed information relating to the activities of the society, the Ministry may, on payment by the society of such fee as may be prescribed, register the Society under this Part. (2) The Ministry shall not register an adoption society under this Part unless the Ministry is satisfied, by such evidence as it may reasonably require, that the society is a charitable association. (3) The Ministry may refuse to register an adoption society under this Part, if it appears to the Ministry (a)that any person employed or proposed to be employed by the society for the purpose of making any arrangements for the adoption of infants on behalf of the society is not a fit and proper person to be so employed; or (b)that the number of competent persons employed or proposed to be employed by the society for the purpose aforesaid is, in the opinion of the Ministry, insufficient having regard to the extent of the activities of the society in connection with that purpose; or (c)that any person taking part in the management or control of the society or any member of the society has been convicted of an offence under this Part or Part II of the Adoption of Children Act (Northern Ireland) 1950 or of a breach of any regulations made under this Part of this Act or under Part II of the said Act of 1950; or (d)that in any other respect the society is not properly managed. (4) The Ministry may at any time cancel the registration of an adoption society (a)on any ground which would entitle the Ministry to refuse an application for the registration of the society; or (b)on the ground that the society is no longer a charitable association.
