HC Deb 09 February 1994 vol 237 c275W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the last date for the ending of the milk marketing scheme.

Mrs. Shephard

My right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Wales and I have made an order under section 1(3) of the Agriculture Act 1993. The order extends the deadline for the revocation of the England and Wales milk marketing scheme from 1 October 1994 to 1 January 1995. This will enable the Milk Marketing Board to proceed with its intention to propose a new vesting date of 1 November 1994.
