Explanatory note

For the purposes of financing the Home-Grown Cereals Authority’s non-trading functions under Part I of the Cereals Marketing Act 1965 for the year beginning 1st August 1989, this Order specifies the rates of dealer levy, grower levy and processor levy which appear to Ministers to be sufficient to meet the amounts apportioned to certain cereals grown in the United Kingdom namely, wheat (including durum wheat), barley, oats, rye, maize, triticale or any two or more of such cereals grown as one crop.

In the case of each of these kinds of cereals, the rate of dealer levy is 27 pence per tonne, the rate of grower levy is 21 pence per tonne and the rate of processor levy is 7 pence per tonne.

Levy will be imposed in accordance with the provisions of the Home-Grown Cereals Authority Levy Scheme 1987, a Scheme in force under section 16 of the Act.

The Order comes into force on 1st August 1989.
