The price difference was therefore payable to the Government. The Government's direction to collect that difference was also within the powers conferred by the Essential Supplies (Temporary Powers) Act and the licence conditions, since the scheme authorised price control, compulsory sale on specified terms, and regulation of essential commodities.
