The allocation of milk quota from the National Reserve is granted on the basis of recommendations from the Milk Quota Appeals Tribunal. The Tribunal recently examined the named person's application but did not recommend him for an allocation of quota on that occasion.

The named person submitted an appeal to this decision. The Tribunal reviewed his case in January and it was decided to uphold the original recommendation in this case. The named person was informed of this outcome by letter on 24 January 2012.

An official from my Department will contact the named person and advise him of the options available to him.
