Part 4 - what the Bill does
Part 4 of the Bill is concerned with returns and payments, with money raised through a levy being remitted to the local authority on a regular basis.
These amendments —
remove the statutory levies in the horticulture and potato sectors in Great Britain;
create a new duty on the AHDB to poll levy payers at least once every five years on how any levy will be spent; and
enable the AHDB to charge for services it delivers to all agricultural industries within the scope of the Order and ensuring that, where an industry is paying a levy, additional charges can only be made for the cost of services that are not already covered by the levy.
