 New code of practice is significant
Dairy UK, the NFU and the NFUS have reached agreement on a voluntary code of best practice on contractual relationships between milk buyers and dairy farmers. Commenting on the landmark agreement Dairy UK Director General Jim Begg said: “I am delighted that Dairy UK, on behalf of its members, has been able to reach agreement with the farming unions on the voluntary code. This important initiative builds upon existing arrangements, which give farmers and processors security in business relationships, whilst adding additional safeguards that will assure farmers that their contracts are not putting them at a disadvantage in the marketplace. |

The consultation, launched last week by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, runs until 23 August. Jennifer Hadland says: While we acknowledge both the importance and the tremendous value of Listed Building Consent in protecting our built heritage, simplification of the rules that govern it will be of great benefit not just to developers but also to the planning authorities themselves.
