§ Mr. David PorterTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what steps he is taking to co-ordinate the payments his Department makes to landowners under all the schemes for which he is responsible; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. CurryThe Department operates a range of schemes which offer payments to landowners. These schemes have different purposes and take different formats reflecting those purposes. There is therefore limited scope for co-ordinating payments under them.
