# Weights and Measures (Northern Ireland) Order 1981, Paragraph 7


(1) This paragraph applies to any vehicle which is used on highways for carrying solid fuel for sale, or for delivery after sale, or on or from which any solid fuel is sold or kept or exposed for sale, and in this paragraph “container” means any container in which solid fuel is carried on such a vehicle, or is delivered from such a vehicle.
(2) The Department may by order make provision—
(a) for securing the display on any such vehicle of an indication of the quantities in which solid fuel is made up in containers;
(b) for requiring all containers carried on or delivered from any one vehicle to be made up in the same quantity, or for regulating in any other way the quantities in which they are made up;
(c) for imposing any requirement as to the loading of the vehicle, or the delivery of solid fuel from the vehicle, which appears to the Department appropriate for securing that purchasers are not misled as to the quantity of fuel they purchase.
(3) An order under sub-paragraph (2) may—
(a) make provision for any of the purposes mentioned in that sub-paragraph by means of amending, or of applying with or without modifications, or of excluding the application in whole or in part of, any of the provisions of this Part;
(b) contain such consequential, incidental or supplementary provisions, whether of such kinds as aforesaid or otherwise, as appear to the Department to be expedient;
(c) make provision, in respect of contraventions of the order for which no penalty is provided by this Order, for the imposition of penalties not exceeding those provided by Article 47 for an offence under this Order.
