(b)imported it into Great Britain,
shall be taken to have established the defence provided by that subsection if he satisfies the requirements of subsection (3) or (4) below.

(a)that the commission of the offence was due to an act or default of another person who was not under his control, or to reliance on information supplied by such a person;
(b)that he carried out all such checks of the food in question as were reasonable in all the circumstances, or that it was reasonable in all the circumstances for him to rely on checks carried out by the person who supplied the food to him; and

(a)at least seven clear days before the hearing; and
(b)where he has previously appeared before a court in connection with the alleged offence, within one month of his first such appearance,
he has served on the prosecutor a notice in writing giving such information identifying or assisting in the identification of that other person as was then in his possession.
