(2) Where-

   (a)  a person has, in accordance with sub-section 23 (3), surrendered a
        licence granted under this Act in respect of a boat; and

   (b)  the person had, at the time when he surrendered the licence, notified
        the Minister that he intended to apply for another licence under this
        Act in respect of another boat, the Minister may direct that the fee
