Specifically, it cancels:\n\n*   Statutory Rules 1940 No. 216\n*   Statutory Rules 1944 No. 177  \n*   Statutory Rules 1953 No. 92\n\nThese regulations originally set rules about exporting flour (such as quality standards, marking requirements, or export permits).\n\n**Who it affects**\n\nFlour producers and exporters, who from 1 January 1980 onwards no longer had to comply with these specific export rules. This removes red tape for the industry.\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nThis is a deregulatory \"housekeeping\" measure. Rather than updating the old rules, the government chose to abolish them entirely, simplifying the regulatory framework for agricultural exports. The repeal took effect on 1 January 1980."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/exports-flour-regulations-repeal","history":"/api/acts/exports-flour-regulations-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/exports-flour-regulations-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/exports-flour-regulations-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/exports-flour-regulations-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/exports-flour-regulations-repeal/documents"}}
