Amendment of section 9 of the Principal Act. |
10.—(1) So much of sub-section (1) of section 9 of the Principal Act as requires an application under that sub-section in relation to an additional quota to be made within fourteen days after the fixing of such additional quota shall cease to have effect and, in lieu thereof, it is hereby enacted that an application under the said sub-section in relation to an additional quota may be made within such time as shall be appointed in that behalf by the order fixing such additional quota. | |
(2) The following provisions shall have effect in relation to the issue of licences by the Minister in pursuance of sub-section (2) of section 9 of the Principal Act, that is to say:— | ||
(a) in determining, under paragraph (c) of the said sub-section (2), the quantity of goods to be specified in any particular licence issued in pursuance of that paragraph, the Minister may have regard (in addition to the matters mentioned in the said paragraph) to any relevant consideration; | ||
(b) where, in the case of a quota, a special quota, or an additional quota, the number of licences applied for is so great in relation to the quantity of goods comprised in such quota, special quota, or additional quota (as the case may be) that it is not possible or is, in the opinion of the Minister, not practicable to issue the full number of the licences so applied for, the Minister shall issue only so many licences as appears to him to be reasonable having regard to the quantity of goods aforesaid and, in such case, the Minister shall issue such licences to such persons (being persons who have applied as aforesaid) and for such quantities of goods as he shall consider to be proper having regard to all the circumstances. | ||
(3) A licence shall not be issued under sub-section (3) of section 9 of the Principal Act to a person who has not applied for such licence or otherwise indicated his willingness to receive such licence. | ||
(4) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (5) of section 9 of the Principal Act— | ||
(a) a licence issued under that section may be expressed to authorise importation during a specified part only of the quota period to which such licence relates and, when so expressed, shall operate to authorise the importation of the goods to which it relates during the said specified part of such quota period and at no other time, and | ||
(b) a licence issued under the said section may be expressed to authorise the importation of specified goods only or of a specified consignment of goods only and, when so expressed, shall operate to authorise the importation of the particular goods or the particular consignment of goods (as the case may be) specified in that behalf in such licence and no other goods. |
