Rural Areas

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs which projects approved for Rural Development Programme for England funding have yet to receive their funding; and on what date they are likely to receive funding.
Answer

For socio-economic projects under Axis 1 and 3 of the Rural Development Programme for England, payments are made on the basis of claims submitted by project holders and in arrears of eligible expenditure made. A schedule of claims is agreed with each project holder as part of the project. It follows that payments will not be made at the time a project is approved by a Regional Development Agency.
