Notwithstanding anything in this Act, Her Majesty from time to time, by Order in Council, may prohibit, either absolutely, or except in pursuance of a license of the Secretary of State under this Act, or may subject to conditions or restrictions the manufacture, keeping, importation from any place out of the United Kingdom, conveyance, and sale, or any of them, of any explosive which is of so dangerous a character that, in the judgment of Her Majesty, it is expedient for the public safety to make such Order:
Provided that such Order shall not absolutely prohibit anything which may be lawfully done in pursuance of any continuing certificate under this Act.
Any explosive manufactured or kept in contravention of any such Order shall be deemed to be manufactured or kept, as the case may be, in an unauthorised place.
Any explosive conveyed in contravention of any such Order shall be deemed to be conveyed in contravention of a byelaw made under this Act with respect to the conveyance of explosives.
If any explosive is imported or sold in contravention of any such Order,—
All or any part of such explosive may be forfeited; and
The owner or master of the ship in which it was imported shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding ten shillings for every pound of such explosive brought in the ship; and
The person to whom it was delivered and the person selling the same shall be liable to a penalty not exceeding ten shillings for every pound of such explosive delivered or sold or found in his possession.
The Commissioners of Customs and their officers shall have the same power with respect to any such explosive, and the ship containing the same, as they have for the time being with respect to any article prohibited to be imported by the law relating to the Customs, and the ship containing the same, and the enactments for the time being in force relating to the Customs and any such article or ship shall apply accordingly.
