APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

4. (1) This order applies with respect to all beer contained
   either in quart bottles or in pint bottles and sold by a retailer
   for consumption off the premises in respect of which his
   licence is granted.
   (2) Nothing in this order shall apply to the sale of beer
   by a wholesaler to any person other than a retailer.

FIXING MAXIMUM RETAIL PRICE OF BOTTLED BEER TO WHICH
THIS ORDER APPLIES

5. (1) Subject to the following provisions of this clause, the
   maximum price that may be charged or received by any retailer
   for any bottled beer to which this order applies shall be the
   amount of the wholesale cost incurred by the retailer in
   respect of the lot sold, increased at the rate of 8s. 3d. per
   dozen for quart bottles or 4s. 5d. per dozen for pint bottles, as
   the case may be.
   (2) If the retail price per bottle calculated in accordance
   with the foregoing provisions of this clause is not an exact
   number of pence or half pence, the price may be calculated
   to the next upward half penny; but where the price of any
   lot of bottled beer sold is not an exact number of pence, the
   price for the lot shall be the next upward penny.
   (3) No additional charge shall be made for wrapping any
   bottled beer to which this order applies, provided that when
   any beer is sold in a case, crate, or carton in which beer was
   delivered to the retailer by a wholesaler, the amount charged
   by the wholesaler for such case, crate, or carton may be added
   to the retail price of the beer.
   (4) Where bottled beer is purchased by a retailer from
   another retailer the maximum price that may be charged by
   the purchasing retailer for the beer shall not exceed the
   amount that would have been charged if the beer had been
   purchased from a wholesaler.
   (5) No charge made by a wholesaler to a retailer in respect
   of any bottled beer other than the charges specifically autho-
   rised by this order to be included in the price charged by a
   retailer shall be included by the retailer in the price charged
   by him to the purchaser of the beer.

SPECIAL PRICES WHERE EXTRAORDINARY CHARGES INCURRED

6. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of
   this clause, and subject to such conditions, if any, as it thinks
   fit, the Tribunal, on application by any retailer may authorise
   special maximum prices in respect of any bottled beer to
   which this order applies where special circumstances exist or
   for any reason extraordinary charges (freight or otherwise) are
   incurred by the retailer. Any authority given by the Tribunal
   under this subclause may apply with respect to a specified lot
   or consignment of bottled beer or may relate generally to all
   bottled beer to which this order applies sold by the retailer
   while the approval remains in force.
