Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which applies in England and Wales, certifies the revocation of the Milk Marketing Scheme 1933 on 1st November 1994, subject to the saving specified below.

The Agriculture Act 1993, section 1(1), revokes the Milk Marketing Scheme 1933. The date for revocation (1st October 1994 under section 1(2)(b)) was postponed to 1st January 1995 by the Milk Marketing Scheme (Substitution of Date of Revocation) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/282). However, by virtue of section 1(4) of the 1993 Act, on the transfer under section 11 of that Act of property, rights or liabilities of the Milk Marketing Board revocation on the transfer date follows as an automatic consequence. The transfer took place on 1st November 1994.

Revocation of the 1933 Scheme is, by virtue of sections 13 and 14 of the 1993 Act, made subject to a saving in respect of winding up provisions of the Scheme and other provisions preserved by regulations. Those provisions are set out in Schedule 3 to the Milk Marketing Board (Residuary Functions) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/2759).
