Food From Britain
Food From Britain was set up in 1983 under the Agricultural Marketing Act to improve the marketing of food and drink produced or
processed in the United Kingdom. In 1993 its remit was changed to focus on promoting food and drink exports and speciality foods.
The most recent review of its functions recommended that it should be retained as a public body with the existing remit.
Horticulture Research International
Following a Quinquennial Review in 2002 the Government announced on 20 January 2003 that they broadly accepted the review team's
recommendations that HRI should cease to be a NDPB and should be transferred to new owners in the private sector. Detailed
discussions are currently under way to establish whether scenarios recommended by the review team are achievable and affordable, and
whether any further Government investment is necessary. Subject to satisfactory negotiations, the aim is to have in place the
arrangements for HRI's future by 1 April 2004.
Meat and Livestock Commission
The MLC is a public sector NDPB by virtue of the Agriculture Act 1967 with the general duty of promoting greater efficiency in the
livestock and livestock product industries in Great Britain. Apart from the payment and expenses of MLC Commissioners from public
funds, and occasional public grants, the MLC is funded principally by a combination of a statutory levy on livestock producers and
private income from commercial services (including services procured by Defra, such as £9.3 million for foot and mouth disease
related work in 2001-02). As producers are required by statute to pay the levy, it is classed as public expenditure. However in
reality the costs of the MLC fall almost entirely on the private livestock sector rather than the Exchequer.
Sea Fish Industry Authority
The Sea Fish Industry Authority is a public levy funded body set up by the Fisheries Act 1981 to promote the efficiency of the sea
fish industry and to serve the interests of that industry as a whole. The last review of it recommended that it be retained as a
public body as its statutory objective remains relevant and the SFIA benefits the industry as a whole.
