HC Deb 26 May 1993 vol 225 c596W
Mr. Alex Carlile

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what percentage of IACS forms were returned by 15 May; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Curry

In order to ensure that every potential applicant received an IACS information pack, forms and explanatory booklets were distributed to all holdings in England and Wales. The number returned by 15 May amounted to approximately 45 per cent. of these despatched. We recognised that some holdings would not be eligible for aid under the CAP schemes covered by IACS but we were not willing to take the risk of missing potential claimants.
