EXPLANATORY NOTE

Where, on the termination of a tenancy of land in England or Wales the tenant has milk quota registered as his in relation to a holding consisting of or including the land, Schedule 1 to the Agriculture Act 1986 gives him a right in certain circumstances, on quitting the land, to obtain from his landlord a payment in respect of all or part of the milk quota which was allocated to him in relation to land comprised in the holding. The amount of payment to which the tenant is entitled in respect of that milk quota is calculated by reference to the "standard quota" for the land, and the "standard quota" is in turn calculated by reference to the "prescribed quota per hectare" and the "prescribed average yield per hectare". This order prescribes the quota per hectare and the average yield per hectare to be taken into account in determining the "standard quota" for the purposes of calculating the payment to which the tenant is entitled under the Act.
