                      Interim Restrictions on Review

   49. Interim restriction orders---(1) Any person who is entitled, under
 section 53 (2) of this Act, to make written submissions to the Board in
 relation to a publication submitted for review under section 47 of this
 Act may, at any time before the review is completed, apply to the
 President of the Board for an interim restriction order in respect of
 the publication to which the review relates, and the President may, if
 satisfied that it is in the public interest to do so, make such an order
 accordingly.

   (2) Every application under subsection (1) of this section shall be
 dealt with as soon as practicable.

   (3) While an interim restriction order is in force, no person who has
 knowledge of the making of that order shall do any act or thing in
 relation to the publication to which the order relates that would be an
 offence against paragraph (c) or paragraph (d) or paragraph (e) of
 section 123 (1) of this Act or against section 127 or section 129 of
 this Act if that publication were an objectionable publication.
