|
| |
(a) declare the weight of bacon which, in the opinion of the Board, can, in normal circumstances, be produced at such premises from a specified weight of carcases;
|
|
| |
(b) appoint, by reference to the proportion which such weight of bacon bears to such specified weight of carcases and on the basis that such specified weight of carcases represents one hundred per cent., the percentage which represents such weight of bacon.

(4) Where a percentage has been appointed in respect of any licensed premises by an order which is made under this section and is in force during any production period, the quantity of bacon produced in such premises during such period shall, for the purposes of this Part of this Act, be taken to be an amount equal to the said percentage of the weight of the carcases of all pigs slaughtered in such premises during such period and used for the production of bacon.
