Explanatory note

This Order amends the Milk Quota (Calculation of Standard Quota) (Scotland) Order 1986, which prescribes the “standard yield per hectare ” and the “average yield per hectare ” to be taken into account in determining the “standard yield ” for the purposes of calculating the payment which a tenant in Scotland is entitled, by Schedule 2 to the Agriculture Act 1986, to obtain from his landlord in respect of milk quota on the termination of a lease of a tenancy.

This Order substitutes for the Schedule to that Order a new Schedule, in which the “standard yield per hectare ” prescribed by article 3 of that Order is revised.

This Order also revokes the Milk Quota (Calculation of Standard Quota) (Scotland) Amendment Order 1991.
