REGULATIONS UNDER THE MEAT EXPORT CHARGE ACT 1935-1954.*

WHEREAS by section three of the Meat Export Charge Act 1935-1954 it is provided (inter alia) that—

(a) a charge is imposed and shall be levied and paid on all meat exported from the Commonwealth ; and

(b) the regulations may, after report to the Minister by the Australian Meat Board constituted under the Meat Export Control Act 1935-1953, prescribe different rates of the charge for different classes of meat, but so that no rate specified in the regulations shall exceed the rate of one-tenth of a penny for each pound of meat exported :

Now therefore I, the Governor-General in and over the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, hereby make the following Regulations under the Meat Export Charge Act 1935-1954.

Dated this fourteenth day of April, 1955.

W. J. Slim
