AGRICULTURE (TEMPORARY ASSISTANCE) ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1954 - SECT 1 



1.(1) For the purpose of assisting the agricultural industry in Northern
Ireland, the Ministry of Agriculture (in this Act referred to as "the
Ministry") may, in accordance with and subject to schemes made by the Minister
of Agriculture (in this Act referred to as "the Minister") with the approval
of the Minister of Finance, make payments to or for the benefit (whether
direct or indirect) of farmers producing any produce specified in the schemes.

[(2) The Minister may by order provide that this Act and all such schemes made
under this Act shall, except to such extent as may be specified in the order,
cease to have effect on such date as may be specified in the order so however
that an order shall not be made under this sub-section unless and until a
draft thereof has been approved by the Minister of Finance and by a resolution
of each House of Parliament.]

(3) The Minister may in connection with the making or administration of any
scheme consult with such bodies of persons as appear to him to represent the
interests of farmers producing the produce specified in the scheme or such
other interests as appear to the Minister to be concerned therewith.

(4) A scheme made under this Act may be varied or revoked by a subsequent
scheme made under this Act.

(5) A scheme made under this Act shall be laid before each House of
Parliament, and if either House of Parliament within the next statutory period
on which it has sat after the scheme is laid before it, resolves that the
scheme shall be annulled, the scheme shall thereupon cease to have effect but
without prejudice to anything done thereunder or to the making of a new
scheme.
