50.—(1) On or after the transfer date, the Minister may, whenever and so often as he thinks fit, by order (in this section referred to as a suspending order) declare that sub-section (2) of section 98 (which relates to production periods and quotas) of the Act of 1935 shall be suspended. | |
(2) Whenever the Minister makes during the currency of a production period a suspending order, the following provisions shall have effect, that is to say:— | ||
(a) notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (2) of section 98 of the Act of 1935, the Commission shall not, so long as such suspending order is in force, make, on or after the date of such suspending order, a production order; | ||
(b) if the Commission has before the date of such suspending order made, in pursuance of the said sub-section (2), a production order appointing a period to be the next production period, then— | ||
(i) such production order shall be deemed not to have been made, and | ||
(ii) anything consequential on the making of such production order done in relation to such next production period by the Commission in pursuance of sections 21 , 22 or 23 of the Act of 1937 shall be deemed not to have been done. | ||
(3) Whenever a suspending order is in force the Minister may by order under this sub-section revoke such suspending order, and thereupon such suspending order shall cease to be in force. | ||
(4) Where— | ||
(a) the provisions of sub-section (2) of section 98 of the Act of 1935 are not complied with, and | ||
(b) such non-compliance was occasioned by the restrictions imposed by paragraph (a) of sub-section (2) of this present section, | ||
the provisions of sub-section (3) of the said section 98 shall apply in respect of such non-compliance. | ||
(4) Every order made by the Minister under this section shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas as soon as may be after it is made, and if a resolution annulling such order is passed by either such House within the next subsequent twenty-one days on which such House has sat after such order is laid before it, such order shall be annulled accordingly, but without prejudice to the validity of anything previously done under such order. |
