(5) For the purposes of this subclause, the term “specified
weight” means 14 lb., 28 lb., 56 lb., or 112 lb. Where any
potatoes to which this order applies are sold by retail in any lot
exceeding 14 lb., a maximum price for the lot, inclusive of the
container, shall be calculated at the rate fixed in respect of the
nearest specified weight to the weight of the lot sold.

(6) If in respect of any lot of potatoes 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
(in the case of a lot less than 5 lb.) or is not an exact number of pence
(in the case of a lot of 5 lb. or more), the maximum price of the
lot shall be the next highest halfpenny or the next highest penny,
as the case may be. The provisions of this subclause shall apply
notwithstanding that in any case the retailer purports to sell any
potatoes otherwise than by weight.

(7) For the purposes of this clause the price paid or payable
by a retailer for any lot of potatoes and the grading, transport,
and other charges paid or payable by him in respect of the same lot,

shall be apportioned evenly over the whole lot, and the price and
charges paid or payable by the retailer for each 1 lb. of potatoes
included in the lot shall be determined accordingly.

18. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of
    this Order and subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, the
    Tribunal, on application by any retailer, may authorize special
    maximum retail prices in respect of any potatoes to which this
    Order applies where special circumstances exist or, for any reason
    extraordinary charges (freight or otherwise) are incurred by the
    retailer in obtaining delivery from the source of supply that is
    nearest or most convenient of access to him. Any authority given
    by the Tribunal under this clause may apply with respect to a
    specified lot or consignment of potatoes or may relate generally
    to all potatoes to which this Order applies sold by the retailer while
    the approval remains in force.

Retailers to Exhibit Prices

19. Every retailer who offers or exposes any potatoes to which
    this Order applies for sale in any shop shall keep in a prominent
    position in such proximity to the potatoes to which it relates as to
    be obviously descriptive thereof a ticket, placard, or label on which
    shall be stated in legible and prominent characters the retail price
    per pound of the potatoes.

BRANDING OF GOOD TABLE POTATOES

20. Every grower, distributor, or wholesaler who grades any
    potatoes as “good table” shall affix to every sack so graded a
    tag on which shall be written the words “Good Table Grade”
    and the name and address of the person so grading the potatoes:
    Provided, however, that where a grower so grading potatoes is a
    member of a growers’ association approved by the Minister of
    Agriculture his registered number may be given in place of his
    name and address.
