I would try Acorn Arable, Sam's pretty resourceful for finding seed.
At the moment I’ve probably found a supplier of seed so thanks for the offer and I’ll let you know if anything changes.

This weather keeps up, be plenty of seed
After this last weeks weather I certainly don’t expect to plant anything before the middle of April…
We reminded you that the sale and/or transfer of farm saved seed is against the law.
There are no sanctions that allow for the movement of farm saved seed and doing so remains illegal.
To trade in Certified Seed of protected varieties, you must hold a BSPB Sub-Licence in addition to being registered with the Ministry (APHA/SASA) – please contact BSPB for details.
Certified Seed can be sown and subsequently re-sown, as Farm Saved Seed, on the same holding. Certified Seed cannot be sold, traded, bartered or re-packaged without the required licences.
Any queries, please call us on 01353 653209.

Sure just sell it as feed barley, you don’t know what the buyer is doing with it
Care to state this law ? shouldn't be difficult
Farm Saved Seed
The Plant Varieties Act 1997 underpins the breeders rights on a protected variety. The legislation can be viewed here:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1997/66/contents
“PBR shall not extend to the use by a farmer for propagating purposes in the field on his own holding of the product of the harvest which he has obtained by planting on his own holding propagating material of a) the protected variety [b…]” UK (9)
HMRC publish the regulations here:
https://www.gov.uk/guidance/farm-saved-seed
Certified Seed
To sell Certified seed, that is seed bought from a seed merchant, you need a licence as per The Seed Marketing Regulations 2011. The legislation can be viewed here:
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/463/made
“Operations requiring a licence from the Secretary of State
20.—(1) Any person carrying out any of the following operations must be licensed to do so by the Secretary of State—
(a)marketing seed;
(b)packing, sealing or labelling seed;
(c)re-packing, re-sealing or re-labelling seed;
(d)preparing mixtures of seed for marketing;
(e)cleaning, treating or in any other way processing seed intended for marketing.”

What a racket.
If the seed has been bought from an approved supplier initially then banning a farmer from selling off any surplus to a neighbour benefits no one but the seed trade.

Royalties should be paid on SOLD produce not planting area
lost all our osr certified seed guess we have payed the levy
now paying on spring barley seem's a bit unfair.

The industry isn’t weighted in favour of the farmer, it’s weighted in favour of people like @BSPB News who get paid twice with a failed crop.lost all our osr certified seed guess we have payed the levy
My feelings exactlylost all our osr certified seed guess we have payed the levy
@BSPB News have made millions this year from failed crops , it's almost criminal imo
