Pigs and Bacon Act, 1937

Increase of sales quotas and consequential increase of home-sales sub-quotas.

28.—(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, the Board may by order amend a home-sales order in respect of a sale period by substituting for the sales quota (in this section referred to as the original quota) appointed by such home-sales order an increased quantity of bacon (in this 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 home-sales sub-quota certificate in respect of such sale period was served, a copy of the amending order, and thereupon the home-sales sub-quota for such premises in respect of such 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 a home-sales order later than ten days before the expiration of the sale period appointed by such home-sales order.
