These Regulations amend the Seeds (National Lists of Varieties) Regulations 1982 by substituting a new Schedule for Schedule 1 to those Regulations. Apart from a number of amendments to the botanical names of the plant varieties so as to bring them into line with those recognised internationally, the new Schedule 1 introduces new agricultural crop kinds triticale, rescue grass and Alaska brome-grass and new vegetable kinds Chinese cabbage and gourd.
1964 c. 14; section 16 was amended by the European Communities Act 1972 (c. 68), section 4(1) and paragraph 5(1), (2) and (3) of Schedule 4; section 38(1) (as amended by S.I. 1978/272) contains a definition of "the Ministers" relevant to the exercise of the statutory powers under which these Regulations are made.
