Special Committee Dairy Produce Bill, 1924 debate -
Thursday, 20 Nov 1924

SECTION 19.

The following regulations shall apply to all premises registered in the register of butter factories, that is to say—
(a) butter containing water in excess of sixteen per cent. shall not be packed for export, or exported, or consigned for export, in or from the premises;
(b) butter containing water in excess of sixteen per cent shall not be packed for sale, or sold, or offered or consigned for sale on or from the premises, except to a butter factory in Saorstát Eireann;
(c) all butter exported from the premises and also every package or wrapper in which such butter is packed shall before it leaves the premises be marked in the prescribed manner with the marks (if any) prescribed by regulations made under this Act;
(d) all butter packed on the premises shall be packed only in such manner and in such packages or wrappers as shall be prescribed by regulations made under this Act.

Before you leave Section 19 might I suggest an amendment in line 21, paragraph (b): " Butter containing water in excess of 16 per cent, shall not be packed for sale or sold or offered or consigned for sale on or from the premises except to a butter factory in Saorstát Eireann, and then only subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts, 1875 to 1907."

I want to make it quite clear that we are not repealing that.

Amendment accepted and passed.

I also withdraw Amendment 47.
