People holding stocks of more than 30 tons of the oil seeds, oils and fats specified in the original orders which are situated abroad must comply with the directions of the Ministry of Food for securing that the ownership of these stocks is transferred to the Government, A licence is now necessary for any dealings in oils, oilseeds and fats which are not already in the United Kingdom. All persons holding stocks of more than 15 tons of any of these, whether situated within or outside the United Kingdom, must make a return of their holdings forthwith to the Ministry of Food.
