Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

By this Order, which comes into force on 1st July 1997, the Ministers approve, with two modifications, a Scheme which further varies that approved by the Home-Grown Cereals Authority Levy Scheme (Approval) Order 1987 (S.I. 1987/671) as varied by the Home-Grown Cereals Authority Levy (Variation) Scheme (Approval) Order 1990 (S.I. 1990/1316) and the Home-Grown Cereals Authority Levy (Variation) Scheme (Approval) Order 1991 (S.I. 1991/1302).

The changes made by this Scheme are—

(a)a reduction in the proportion (from 5 per cent to 3.7 per cent) which may be deducted by a dealer from any dealer levy he is required to pay (where he is entitled to recover a contribution from a grower or agent intermediary) in respect of the expenses of collection of that contribution; and

(b)empowering any person authorised by the Home-Grown Cereals Authority (rather than just authorised officers of that Authority) to inspect, on behalf of the Authority, for the purposes of determining liability to the levy, any records required to be kept under paragraph 9 of the Scheme.

A Home-Grown Cereals Authority (Rate of Levy) Order is made annually specifying the rate of levy for each of the kinds of home-grown cereals in respect of which levy is to be imposed.

A compliance cost assessment has been prepared and has been deposited in the libraries of both Houses of Parliament.
