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


Rural Payments Agency

My Lords, the noble Lord must have misheard me. I did not say that part payments could not be made; it is clear that they could be, but we have to make sure that they will be successful in IT terms    and that they will not affect adversely the 2006 payments. The people to whom he may speak about Defra will of course tell him what he has told the House. The people I speak to think that the improvement in the department of the environment, which includes farming, is a huge improvement on the former Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
