(This note is not part of the Order)
Article 2 of this Order amends the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/576) (“the Order”) which establishes the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (“the Board”).
Paragraphs (3) and (7) remove the ability of the Board to impose levies on the horticulture and potato industries in Great Britain. As a consequence, paragraph (2) prescribes a new definition of “horticulture industry” for the purposes of the functions of the Board under the Order apart from the function of imposing levies. Paragraph (6) makes a consequential amendment.
Paragraph (4) allows the Board to make charges for the services specified in Schedule 1 to the Order but not for services the cost of which is met from levies under article 6 of the Order.
Paragraph (5) requires the Board to hold a vote at least once every 5 years on proposals as to how any levy is to be spent. It also makes consequential amendments about ballots on the continuation of levies imposed by virtue of the Order.
A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it is not required under the regulatory provisions of the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015.
