APPLICATION OF THIS ORDER

3. This order applies with respect to all raw tobacco leaf grown in New Zealand during the 1959–60 season: Provided that the Tribunal may, in any case where it considers it proper to do so and subject to such conditions (if any) as it thinks fit, exempt any such tobacco from the operation of this order.
