Increase of external-sales quotas and consequential increase of external-sales sub-quotas for licensed premises.

32.—(1) Subject to the provisions of the next following sub-section, the Board may by order amend an external-sales order in respect of an external-sale period, by substituting for the external-sales quota (in this section referred to as the original quota) appointed by such external-sales order a greater quantity of bacon (in this sub-section referred to as the increased quota), and in such case the Board shall, not later than three days after the making of the amending order, cause to be served, on each licensee of licensed premises upon whom a copy of the external-sales sub-quota certificate in respect of such sale period was served, a copy of the amending order, and thereupon the external-sales sub-quota for such premises in respect of such external-sale period shall, in lieu of the amount of bacon (in this section referred to as the original sub-quota) specified in such certificate, be, for the purposes of this Part of this Act a quantity of bacon which bears to the original sub-quota the same proportion as the increased quota bears to the original quota.

(2) The Board shall not make an order under this section amending an external-sales order later than ten days before the expiration of the external-sale period appointed by such external-sales order.
