Farmers Charter (Hansard, 2 February 1994)

HC Deb 02 February 1994 vol 236 c735W 735W

§ Mr. Llwyd
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if her Department has considered initiating a farmers charter in the light of the Chancellor's reference in the Budget speech to the effects of late payment on small business; and if she will make a statement.

§ Mr. Jack
The Department has already set out targets for dealing with grant, subsidy and licence applications in "Commitment to Service", which was published in December 1992. In a number of cases, EC legislation determines the dates which apply.
