§ Mr. HagueTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what proportion of this year's suckler cow premium payments have been made; and by what date these payments should be completed.
§ Mr. CurryAs at 10 December 10,135 payable orders had been issued to producers in England in respect of claims made under the 1990–91 suckler cow premium scheme. The scheme remains open to applications until 31 January 1991. It is not, therefore, possible to say what proportion of the eventual total this figure represents.
