Price Order No. 169 (Butter)

Pursuant to the powers conferred on it by the Control of Prices Emergency Regulations 1939,* the Price Tribunal, acting with the authority of the Minister of Industries and Commerce, doth hereby make the following Price Order:—

  1. This Order may be cited as Price Order No. 169, and shall come into force on the 2nd day of November, 1943.

  2. (1) Price Order No. 101† is hereby revoked.

(2) The revocation of the said Price Order shall not affect the liability of any person for any offence in relation thereto committed before the coming into force of this Order.

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

  1. This Order applies with respect to all sales by way of retail of any “creamery butter” or “whey butter” or “dairy butter” within the meaning of the Butter Marketing Regulations 1937‡.

MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES OF BUTTER TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

  1. (1) The maximum retail price of butter to which this Order applies shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions, namely:—

(a) In the case of butter sold by a retailer to whom a wholesale supply of butter of the same kind is available, free of freight charges, for delivery at his store from any source whatever, the maximum retail price shall be computed at the rate of—

(i) 1s. 6d. a pound for salted creamery butter ;

(ii) 1s. 6¼d. a pound for unsalted creamery butter ;

(iii) 1s. 5d. a pound for whey butter ;

(iv) 1s. 4d. a pound for dairy butter.

(b) Where freight charges are incurred by a retailer in obtaining delivery of any butter at his store the maximum retail price of such butter shall be the appropriate maximum retail price fixed by paragraph (a) hereof, increased to the nearest halfpenny by a proportionate part of the freight charges incurred by the retailer: Provided that, where any butter to which this paragraph applies is obtained by the retailer from a source of supply that is not the nearest or most convenient of access to the retailer’s store, the increase of the price authorized by this paragraph shall not exceed a proportionate part of the freight charges that would have been incurred by the retailer if the butter had been obtained from the source of supply nearest or most convenient of access to his store, and if delivery had been effected by a common carrier at current freight rates.

(2) If in respect of any lot of butter sold by a retailer the maximum price calculated in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this clause is not an exact number of pence or half-pence, the maximum price of the lot shall be computed to the nearest upward halfpenny.

Dated at Wellington, this 30th day of October, 1943.

The Seal of the Price Tribunal was affixed hereto in the presence of—

[L.S.] W. J. Hunter (Judge), President.
H. L. Wise, Member.
