These rules were known as the *War Precautions (Winter Butter Pool) Regulations 1918*.\n\nNow that WWI has ended, this short 1919 regulation formally **repeals** (abolishes) those 1918 butter controls. It is essentially housekeeping to remove a temporary wartime economic restriction.\n\n**Who it affects**\n\nPrimarily dairy farmers, butter producers, and wholesalers who were previously bound by the Winter Butter Pool scheme. For the general public, it means one fewer wartime control on food supplies."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/war-precautions-winter-butter-pool-regulations-1918-repeal","history":"/api/acts/war-precautions-winter-butter-pool-regulations-1918-repeal/history","analysis":"/api/acts/war-precautions-winter-butter-pool-regulations-1918-repeal/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/war-precautions-winter-butter-pool-regulations-1918-repeal/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/war-precautions-winter-butter-pool-regulations-1918-repeal/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/war-precautions-winter-butter-pool-regulations-1918-repeal/documents"}}
