Special Committee Pigs and Bacon Bill, 1934 debate -
Thursday, 11 Apr 1935

SECTION 148.

Question proposed: " That Section 148 stand part of the Bill."

Who prescribes the levy referred to in Section 148, sub-section (2) ? I cannot find any statement in that section as to who should prescribe the levy, who makes the calculations.

Minister for Agriculture

The rate of levy is prescribed in sub-section (1).

With great respect, Sir, the levy is not prescribed in sub-section (1).

Minister for Agriculture

There was a short section dealing with that. That is a levy the Board makes.

Where is that ?

Minister for Agriculture

Section 151.

Oh, yes; that is clear, I think. It is quite clear that they have power to fix the sum by order.

Minister for Agriculture

Yes.

Question agreed to.
