MARKETING OF POTATOES ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1964 - SECT 8

Power to enter premises and examine potatoes.

8.(1) Any authorised officer shall for the purposes of this Act have power (on
production, if demanded, of his authority to act as such officer)

(a)to enter, at all reasonable times, any premises owned, occupied or used or
suspected by him upon reasonable grounds of being owned, occupied or used by
any person for the purpose of trade in potatoes and to inspect therein any
potatoes in the possession of such person and any process connected with the
grading and packing of potatoes in such premises;

(b)to enter at all reasonable times the premises of, or used by, any person
engaged in the business of carrying goods for reward, any pier, quay, wharf,
jetty, dock, dock premises or aerodrome and any ship, boat, aircraft, railway
waggon, motor lorry, cart or other vessel or vehicle used for the conveyance
of goods and to open, for the purpose of inspection, any package of potatoes
which may be found in or upon any premises, place, vessel, vehicle or aircraft
which he is entitled to enter under this paragraph;

(c)to inspect potatoes and to take, for the purpose of examination, samples of
potatoes.

(2) Where an inspection of potatoes under this Act is made whilst the potatoes
are in transit and an authorised officer is satisfied that the potatoes do not
conform to the prescribed standard of quality or are not graded, packed and
labelled in the prescribed manner, the Ministry or officer may direct that the
potatoes shall be returned to the consignor at the place from which they were
consigned or, if the Ministry or officer approves, at such other place within
Northern Ireland as the consignor may elect and thereupon the carrier or the
consignor, as the case may require, shall, at the expense of the consignor,
proceed to execute such direction with all reasonable speed.

(3) Nothing in this section shall be construed as authorising anything to be
done to the prejudice of any powers of a carrier to secure payment of freight
charges in respect of any consignment carried by him.
