The Intervention Board for Agricultural Produce, established by section 6(1) of the European Communities Act 1972, is to be abolished by virtue of the Intervention Board for Agricultural Produce (Abolition) Regulations 2001 (S.I. 2001/3686). Following abolition, its functions in relation to Scotland (so far as within devolved competence) are intended to be carried out on behalf of the Scottish Ministers by an executive agency of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), to be known as the Rural Payments Agency.
