A failure on the part of any person to observe any provision of the code shall

        with any conditions of a licence (including conditions referred to in
        section 45(2)(a), and, in particular, conditions requiring anything to
be "proper" or "suitable", take account of any relevant provision of the code;
and

   (b)  shall, in considering, where it has power to do so, whether or not to
        vary, revoke or renew a licence, take into account any observance of
        or failure to observe the provisions of the code.
