Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbrook (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 27 March 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Rural Payments Agency.


Rural Payments Agency

My Lords, in the Statement the Minister said that the RPA faced substantial problems in getting SPS payments out to farmers. We have not heard many details of what the problems were and how we can avoid them happening again. I declare an interest as a landowner. The noble Viscount, Lord Bledisloe, suggested that interest be paid on late single farm payments. Is that a possibility?
