The Milk Marketing Board ("the Board") administers the Milk Marketing Scheme 1933 ("the 1933 Scheme") which applies to England and Wales. The Agriculture Act 1993 ("the Act") makes provision for the revocation of the 1933 Scheme and empowers the Board to apply jointly to the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Secretary of State for Wales (together "the appropriate authority") for approval of a scheme for the reorganisation of the arrangements relating to the marketing of milk in England and Wales. Section 2(7) of the Act empowers the appropriate authority to extend by order the period for making such an application. The Milk Marketing Board Scheme of Reorganisation (Extension of Period for Application) Order 1993, which was made under that power, deferred the last day on which an application may be made from 31st December 1993 to 31st March 1994. The power is further exercised in this Order which defers that date to 30th June 1994.

This Order does not impose a charge on business.
