Payment in lieu of payment under section 27
29. (1) A person may, at any time after payment to the person of a final
advance payment under section 26 in respect of wheat and before payment of a
final payment under section 27 in respect of the wheat, apply to the Board for
a payment under this section in respect of the wheat.

(2) Where a person to whom a final advance payment under section 26 has been
made dies, an application may be made under sub-section (1) by the trustee of
the estate of the person.

(3) An application under sub-section (1) shall be in accordance with a form
approved by the Board.

(4) Subject to this section, the Board shall grant each application under
sub-section (1).

(5) The Board shall not grant an application under sub-section (1) in respect
of wheat where, in the opinion of the Board, the amount of the final payment
under section 27 in respect of that wheat cannot reasonably be estimated or no
final payment under that section is likely to be made.

(6) The Board may refuse to grant an application under sub-section (1) in
respect of wheat if the Board proposes to make a final payment under section 
27 in respect of that wheat within 3 months after the receipt by the Board of
the application, but, if at the expiration of that 3 months the Board has not
made such a final payment, the Board shall, subject to sub-section (5), grant
the application.

(7) A person to whom a payment is made under this section in respect of wheat
is not entitled to a final payment under section 27 in respect of that wheat.

(8) The amount of a payment in respect of wheat of a season under this section
shall be the amount estimated by the Board of the final payment that would, if
the first-mentioned payment were not made, be payable to the person under
section 27 reduced by such amount as the Board considers proper having regard
to-

   (a)  the cost to the Board of borrowing moneys for the purpose of making
        payments under this section in respect of wheat of that season;

   (b)  the administrative costs incurred by the Board in dealing with the
        application; and

   (c)  such other factors as the Board considers relevant.
