Whereas the Home-Grown Cereals Authority (hereinafter referred to as "the Authority"), established under Part I of the Cereals Marketing Act 1965(1) (hereinafter referred to as "the Act"), prepared and submitted to the Ministers hereinafter named, pursuant to section 13(1)(a)(2) of the Act, an estimate of the amount required to be raised by levy imposed on persons specified in the Home-Grown Cereals Authority Cereals Levy Scheme 1987(3) and in the Home-Grown Cereals Authority Oilseeds Levy Scheme 1990(4) (hereinafter referred to as "the Schemes") for the period of twelve months beginning with 1st July 1992 (hereinafter referred to as "the relevant year") for the purpose of the Authority's functions under Part I of the Act;
And whereas pursuant to section 13(2) of the Act the Authority duly submitted to the Ministers with such estimate proposals as to the kinds of home-grown cereals(5) in respect of which a levy should be imposed and as to the apportionment of the amount specified in the estimate as between those kinds of home-grown cereals;
And whereas pursuant to section 13(3) of the Act the Ministers have-
(a)determined that the amount to be raised by levy for the relevant year for such purposes shall be £7,496,500 and have determined that the kinds of home-grown cereals in respect of which the levy is to be imposed for the relevant year shall be wheat (including durum wheat), barley, oats, rye, maize, triticale or any two or more of those cereals grown as one crop, and rapeseed, linseed, soyabean, sunflowerseed or any two or more of those oilseeds grown as one crop; and
(b)apportioned the amount so determined as between those cereals and those oilseeds so that the amount to be raised by levy in respect of the cereals is £6,850,250, and the amount to be so raised in respect of the oilseeds is £646,250 and the rates of levy on each kind of cereal or each kind of oilseed respectively are the same;
Now, therefore, the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the Secretaries of State respectively concerned with agriculture in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the Secretary of State for Wales, acting jointly in exercise of the powers conferred by sections 13(3), 23(1) and 24(1)(6) of the Act and now vested in them(7), and of all other powers enabling them in that behalf, hereby make the following Order:
