21.(1) Where it appears to the Ministry necessary in order to safeguard in the
public interest the supply of food or other agricultural products, the
Ministry may by regulation prescribe that all or any of the powers conferred
on it by the next succeeding sub-section shall be exercisable by it for a
period of one year from the making of the regulation....

(2) During the period for which the said powers are exercisable the Ministry
may give such directions

(a)as to the use of agricultural land for any of the purposes of agriculture
and the manner in which and the produce for which it is to be so used;

(b)as to the carrying out of any work necessary to enable agricultural land to
be used as directed under paragraph (a) of this sub-section;

(c)as to any other matters as to which directions may be given to an occupier
of agricultural land to which an improvement notice relates;

(d)without prejudice to the general powers conferred by the preceding
paragraphs, as to the cultivation of agricultural land including directions
requiring a minimum proportion of agricultural land to be cultivated and
maintained in cultivation;

(i)by order relating to all agricultural land or to land of any class or
description specified in the order; or

(ii)by notice relating to the land specified therein served on the person who
is to comply with the directions.

(3) If any person refuses or neglects to comply with or acts in contravention
of any direction given to him by virtue of this section or served on him under
sub-section (2) of the next succeeding section, he shall be liable on summary
conviction to a fine not exceeding one hundred pounds or to imprisonment for a
term not exceeding six months or to both such fine and such imprisonment.

(4) Sub-sections (2) to (5) of section twenty of this Act shall apply in
relation to directions given by virtue of this section or served under
sub-section (2) of the next succeeding section as they apply in relation to
directions given under section nineteen of this Act.

have effect where a direction is given under this section requiring the
ploughing-up of permanent pasture or the performing of other acts of
cultivation.

(6) Nothing done or omitted by an occupier in pursuance of a direction under
this section shall be treated as a failure to maintain land in good condition
or to farm it in accordance with the rules of good husbandry, so long as the
act or omission was reasonably necessary in consequence of the giving of the
direction.

(7) Any period for which the powers conferred on the Ministry by sub-section
(2) of this section are exercisable shall be extended by a further year if the
Ministry by regulation made not earlier than one month before the date on
which the said period would otherwise expire prescribes that the said period
shall be so extended.

(8) The expiration of the said period shall not affect the operation of any
direction or order previously given or made (as the case may be) under this
section.
