   Provided that if the quantity of milk supplied in any one lot is less than the smallest specified quantity the price for the lot shall be computed at the rate prescribed in the Schedule for the smallest specified quantity.
   (4) Subject to the provisions of the next succeeding sub-clause, where an account is rendered to any purchaser for milk supplied to him during a period comprising more than one day the price that may be charged for the milk to which the account relates shall be computed separately for each lot supplied at a rate not exceeding the appropriate rate fixed by this order in respect of the quantity supplied in each lot: Provided that if the total quantity of milk supplied to any one purchaser on any one day (exclusive of milk supplied at any one time in a lot of a half-pint or less) is not less than one gallon the maximum price that may be charged for the total quantity shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of this order as if the milk supplied on that day had been supplied in one lot.
   (5) Where the quantity of milk supplied at any one time is a lot of a half-pint or less the price of each lot shall be computed separately at the rate prescribed by this order for a half-pint whether or not the account is rendered to the purchaser of the milk and whether or not the total quantity so supplied on any one day is one gallon or more.
   (6) Subject to the proviso to subclause (4) of this clause, if the price computed in accordance with this order for any lot of milk supplied at any one time whether sold for cash or on credit is not an exact number of pence or halfpence, the price for the lot shall be computed to the next upward halfpenny.
6. 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 vendor of milk, may authorise special maximum prices in respect of any milk to which this order applies where special circumstances exist or for any reason extraordinary charges (freight or otherwise) are incurred by the vendor. Any authority given by the Tribunal under this clause may apply with respect to a specified delivery of milk or may relate generally to all milk delivered by the vendor, while the approval remains in force.
