Power of Ministry to regulate production of pig products.

11.(1) Subject to the provisions of this section, the Ministry shall have
power to regulate the production of pig products by determining from time to
time the number of pigs of such description as the Ministry shall determine
which may be used by a licensed bacon curer or other producer of pig products
for the purposes of his business as such bacon curer or producer and a
determination so made in relation to a licensed bacon curer shall be deemed to
be a condition applying to any licence for the time being held by him.

(2) Where a bacon curer was a licensed bacon curer on the first day of
November, nineteen hundred and thirty-four, the minimum number of pigs which
the Ministry may determine under sub-section (1) for use by him during any
period shall be

(a)the number of pigs used by him in the corresponding period of the twelve
months immediately preceding that date; or

(b)where he has, in the corresponding period of the twelve months immediately
preceding the date of the determination under sub-section (1), used a lesser
number of pigs than that specified in paragraph (a), such lesser number;

(3) Before fixing or altering the basis on which a determination is made under
sub-section (1), the Ministry shall consult such body or bodies of persons as
appear to the Ministry to represent licensed bacon curers and shall, where it
considers it necessary, consult representatives of any other persons who
appear to the Ministry to be directly affected by the determination.

(4) If a licensed bacon curer or other producer of pig products fails to
observe any prescribed requirement as to the production of pig products the
Ministry may revoke in whole or in part a determination under sub-section (1)
of the number of pigs which may be used by that bacon curer or producer.

(5) The Ministry may exempt from the provisions of this section producers of
pig products who, for the purposes of their business as such producers, use
less than a specified number of whole pigs of such description as is
determined by the Ministry under sub-section (1).

(6) Any person who acts in contravention of a determination in force under
sub-section (1) shall be guilty of an offence under this Act.
