FIXING MAXIMUM PRICES OF SUGAR TO WHICH THIS ORDER APPLIES

Retail Prices

5. (1) Subject to the provisions of this order, the maximum price that may be charged or received by any retailer for sugar to which this order applies shall be the sum of the following amounts:
   (a) The prevailing wholesale price as defined in clause 3 of this order.
   (b) Freight and other charges incurred by the retailer in obtaining delivery into store.
   (c) A mark-up of 13½ per cent on (a) plus (b):
   Provided that nothing in this order shall authorise the addition of transport costs in excess of those that would have been incurred had the sugar been purchased from a distributor nearest or most convenient of access to the retailer’s store and transported by a common carrier at current freight rates.
   (2) In calculating the price payable under this clause, no account shall be taken of any additional amount chargeable by a distributor to a retailer in respect of the packaging of the sugar in amounts of less than 70 lb.
   (3) Where delivery by the retailer of any sugar is effected otherwise than over the counter or, where the sale is not for cash, the maximum price of that sugar shall be the appropriate maximum price as determined by the foregoing provisions of this clause increased by ¼d. per pound, provided that where both such conditions apply the appropriate maximum price shall not be increased by more than ¼d. per pound.
   (4) If in respect of any lot of sugar 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 halfpence, the maximum price of the lot shall be calculated to the next upward halfpenny.

PROVISIONS FOR SPECIAL PRICES

6. 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 sugar to which this order applies, where special circumstances exist, or for any reason extraordinary charges (transport or otherwise) are incurred by the retailer.
