Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Carter (Labour). It was answered on Tuesday, 24 January 2006.
Rural Payments Agency
- Question
- My Lords, can my noble friend confirm that under the old IACS scheme farmers were paid between January and June 2005, so the farmers who received their payment in June 2005 are likely to receive their next payment in either February or March this year? That is nine months, whereas under the old scheme it used to be 12 months between payments.
- Answer
-
My Lords, 11 subsidy system schemes ran up until the CAP reform, which was supported by all sides of the House. My noble friend is right that the dates for those schemes differed, but a number of them meant that the window for paying them closed in the middle of the year. So there would have been farmers paid last in June or even July 2005.
