Notice is also hereby given that the New Zealand Milk Board has also determined, pursuant to section 32 of the Milk Act 1967, that, as from and including the 1st day of March 1974, the maximum price which may be charged by any milk vendor (as that term is defined in section 2 of the Milk Act 1967) who operates but does not own a milk round (as that term is defined in section 2 of the Milk Act 1967) for goodwill on the sale of the business of such vendor shall not exceed in respect of the sale of such business a sum of $1.

This determination replaces the previous determination of the New Zealand Milk Board, notice of which was published in the New Zealand Gazette of 19 November 1970, No. 73, at page 2146.
