Proceeding contribution from Lord Renton of Mount Harry (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 23 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on select committee report on EU Sugar Regime (EUC Report).

EU Sugar Regime (EUC Report)

My Lords, on that point, can I have clarification from the Minister? I may be wrong, but I understand that the first view was that every farmer receiving a single farm payment would also receive some money for sugar beet that was no longer going to be grown, whether he had been growing sugar beet in the past or not. That has probably changed now, and the Secretary of State, having listened to the arguments, will direct payments for not growing sugar beet to those who were growing it before.
