The Milk Development Council (Amendment) Order 2004
This Order, which comes into force on 1st April 2004, further amends the Milk Development Council Order 1995 (S.I.1995/356). The Council continues to have the power to require producers to furnish returns and information. In relation to Case B producers, this Order requires the Council to estimate milk production where an annual return is required and not submitted within one month of the end of a production year. It also enables the Council to increase that estimate by up to 10% in certain circumstances. Case B producers are producers who are required to pay a charge to the Council directly, rather than to a milk purchaser as agent for the Council.
