HC Deb 20 May 1993 vol 225 c243W
Mr. Tyler

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what is the timetable of processing IACS forms at each of his Department's regional centres and when he expects all forms at each centre to be accepted for grant eligibility.

Mr. Curry

Each regional service centre will now undertake a detailed check of the IACS forms to determine eligibility for aid. These checks have already begun. We shall aim to have the checks completed as quickly as possible, having regard to the time payments are due under the individual schemes involved.

Mr. Tyler

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what total cost he estimates for the administration of the integrated administration and control system by his Department in 1993–94 and 1994–95.

Mr. Curry

Our best estimate is that administration of IACS in England will cost in the region of £7 million in 1993–94 and £5 million in 1994–95.
