(2) Terms and expressions defined in the said Act and used in this Order have the meanings severally assigned thereto by that Act.

APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

4. (1) This Order applies only with respect to Cheddar cheese that is sold by a retailer within four months after the date of its manufacture.

(2) For the purposes of this clause the date of the manufacture of any cheese shall be deemed to be the date indicated on the cheese in accordance with the requirements of the Dairy-produce Regulations 1938†.

(3) Every person who sells any Cheddar cheese by retail (whatever the age of such cheese) shall keep, for a period of not less than four months, a record showing the date of the delivery of the cheese to the retailer, and also—

(a) If the whole cheese was sold, without cutting, the date of its sale ; or

(b) In any other case, the date on which the cheese was first cut.

FIXING MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICES FOR CHEESE TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

5. (1) The maximum price that may be charged or received by any retailer for any cheese to which this Order applies shall be determined in accordance with the following provisions, namely :—

(a) In the case of cheese sold by a retailer to whom supplies of Cheddar cheese are available, free of freight charges, for delivery at his store from any source whatever, the maximum retail price shall be 1s. 6½d. a pound :

(b) In cases to which the last preceding paragraph does not apply, the maximum retail price shall be 1s. 6½d. a pound, increased to the next upward halfpenny by the appropriate proportion of the freight charges incurred by the retailer in obtaining delivery at his store :

Provided that where any cheese to which this paragraph applies is obtained by the retailer from a source of supply that is not the most convenient of access to the retailer’s store, the increase of the price per pound authorized by this paragraph shall not exceed the appropriate proportion of the freight charges that would have been incurred by the retailer if the cheese had been obtained from the source of supply most convenient of access to his store, and if delivery had been effected by a common carrier at current freight rates.

(2) Where the quantity of cheese sold by a retailer in any one transaction is not an exact number of pounds, the maximum price shall be computed at the rate per pound fixed in accordance with the last preceding subclause.

(3) If in respect of any cheese the retail price charged in accordance with the provisions of this clause is not an exact number of pence or halfpence, the maximum price shall be computed to the next upward halfpenny.

6. (1) Where any person sells by retail to any one purchaser, for delivery at any one time, not less than three standard crate lots of export-size, medium-size, or pancake-size cheeses, whether or not all the standard crate lots contain the same size of cheeses, the maximum price that may be charged or received in respect of any such sale shall be computed as follows :—

(2) For the purposes of this clause the weight of any cheeses sold in crates shall be deemed to be their weight as at the time of crating, and the weight of uncrated cheeses shall be deemed to be their actual weight when delivered to the purchaser.

Any authority given by the Tribunal under this clause may apply with respect to a specified lot or consignment of cheese or may relate generally to all cheese to which this Order applies sold by the retailer while the approval remains in force.
