(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order, which extends to Great Britain, amends the Corn Returns Act 1882 by substituting a new section for section 5. The new section continues to require weekly returns of British corn to be made, but the requirements of the previous section are modified in the following respects. First, the new section limits the number of purchasers of corn required to make returns to those who have taken delivery of one thousand tonnes or more of British corn in the previous harvest year; secondly, it replaces the requirement that all returns must be in writing and signed by provision for regulations under the Act to include at least two ways of making a return, one of which is to comprise that requirement; and thirdly, it extends the manner of making a return so as to provide for it to be agreed with the recipient of the return. This Order also repeals section 108(3)(b) of the Agriculture Act 1970, which is spent in consequence of the substitution indicated above.
