(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order abolishes the council known as Food from Britain established by section 1 of the Agricultural Marketing Act 1983 (c. 3). It transfers to, and vests in, the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs the property, rights and liabilities of the council, and it makes provision for the preparation of a final report and statement of accounts. It also makes consequential repeals and revocations.
No impact assessment has been produced as no cost to the business or voluntary sectors is foreseen.
