For reasons of administrative efficiency, the Milk Quota Trading Scheme was managed centrally by my Department. However, the Scheme was operated at co-operative level and the results have been issued to each co-op, who will contact their suppliers directly with the outcome of their applications.

In the circumstances outlined the extension of the family lease is a matter for both parties to the lease to arrange. The Milk Quota Regulations provide for the renewal of leases within a period of 6 months of expiry of the lease.
