  41. Power of Commission to Exempt Particular Classes of Goods from Sections 39 and 40.
  (1) The Commission may, on a
  
  reference made to it by the Director General or any other person interested, by
  
  order, direct that goods of any class specified in the order shall be exempt
  
  from the operation of sections 39 and 40 if the Commission is satisfied that in
  
  default of a system of maintained minimum resale prices applicable to those
  
  goods -
  (a) the quality of
  
  goods available for sale or the varieties of goods so available would be
  
  substantially reduced to the detriment of the public as consumers or users of
  
  those goods, or
  (b) the prices at which
  
  the goods are sold by retail would, in general and in the long run, be
  
  increased to the detriment of the public as such consumers or users, or
  (c) any necessary
  
  services actually provided in connection with or after the sale of the goods by
  
  retail would cease to be so provided or would be substantially reduced to the
  
  detriment of the public as such consumers or users.
  (2) On a reference under this
  
  section in respect of goods of any class which have been the subject of
  
  proceedings before the Commission under section 31, the Commission may treat as
  
  conclusive any evidence of fact made in those proceedings.
