HC Deb 14 July 1994 vol 246 c714W
Mr. Home Robertson

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what are the total areas claimed by arable farmers in England for crops and set-aside under the arable area payments scheme in 1994; how those figures relate to the baseline areas declared to the European Commission; what estimate she has made of the overshoot; and if she will make a statement on the scale of penalty that is likely to arise from such an overshoot.

Mr. Jack

This information will not be available until all the 1994 area aid applications have been processed. An announcement will be made as soon as possible.
