Be it enacted by the King's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled and by the authority of the same, as follows:
1 Power to control temporarily the export of certain fertilisers.
(1) Subject to the provisions of this Act, His Majesty may by Order in Council prohibit the export from the United Kingdom of any of the fertilisers specified in the Schedule to this Act.
(2) An Order under this section—
(a ) may provide for the issue by such Government department as may be prescribed by the Order of licences for the export of articles to which the Order relates; and
(b ) may authorise any such licence to be issued subject to such conditions as may be specified in the licence, and may contain provisions imposing penalties for any breach of, or failure to comply with, any such conditions.
(3) Any Order made under this section may be revoked or varied by a subsequent Order so made.
(4) This section shall have effect as though it were included in the Customs Consolidation Act, 1876 , and the provisions of that Act, and of any Act amending or extending that Act, shall apply accordingly, and if any articles prohibited to be exported by virtue of this Act are exported from the United Kingdom in contravention of an Order made under this section, or are brought to any quay or other place to be shipped for the purpose of being so exported, or are waterborne to be so exported, the exporter or his agent shall be liable to the same penalty as that to which a person is liable under section one hundred and eighty-six of that Act for illegally importing prohibited goods.
