Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order, which applies in Scotland, certifies the revocation of the three Scottish Milk Marketing Schemes on 1st November 1994, subject to the saving specified below.

The Agriculture Act 1993, section 1(1), revokes the Milk Marketing Schemes. The date for revocation (1st April 1994 under section 1(2)(a)) was postponed to 1st January 1995 by the Milk Marketing Schemes (Substitution of Date of Revocation) (Scotland) Order 1994 (S.I. 1994/685). However, by virtue of section 1(4) of the Act, on the transfer under section 11 of property, rights or liabilities of the three Scottish Milk Marketing Boards revocations on the transfer date follow as an automatic consequence. The transfer took place on 1st November 1994.

Revocation of the three Scottish Schemes is, by virtue of sections 13 and 14 of the Act, made subject to a saving in respect of winding up provisions of the Schemes and other provisions preserved by regulations. Those provisions are set out in the Schedules to the North of Scotland Milk Marketing Board (Residual Functions) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/2590), the Aberdeen and District Milk Marketing Board (Residual Functions) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/2589) and the Scottish Milk Marketing Board (Residual Functions) Regulations 1994 (S.I. 1994/2591).
