The Milk (Eradication of Brucellosis) Scheme 1970
This scheme requires Milk Marketing Boards in Great Britain to pay 1¼d. per gallon (0.52p. per gallon from 15th February 1971) on milk from any accredited herd which is sold under the provisions of a Milk Marketing Scheme by a registered producer or is deemed for the purpose of any payment under such a scheme to have been produced from that herd, provided that the herd has been authorised for the purpose of this scheme by the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food or the Secretary of State for Scotland as the case may require. The scheme also makes provision for payments by the Milk Marketing Board for Northern Ireland on milk from herds certified by the Ministry of Agriculture for Northern Ireland.
