Title
MDC - Milk Development Council, UK
Description
MDC was established by the Agriculture Ministers following the re-organisation of the milk industry at the end of 1994. It was set up as a levy-collecting body which then spent levy mainly on funding research and development into production methods.
MDC is a Non-Departmental Public Body (NDPB) sitting within Defra. In simple terms, NDPBs fulfill certain roles for government such as providing advice, distributing public funds and managing services.
Members – in our case Council members – are appointed by the relevant Minister but the work of NDPBs is independent from government to ensure that important areas of public administration are not under direct political control.
