HC Deb 25 April 1996 vol 276 cc266-7W
Mr. Illsley

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many cases of CAP fraud were reported in Northern Ireland in each year since 1993. [26220]

Mr. Ancram

[holding answer 22 April 1996]: I refer the hon. Member to the answer given to him by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State, Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food on 22 April, Official Report, columns 50-51. It is not possible to give a full breakdown of these figures in respect of Northern Ireland because market-based irregularities are compiled by the Intervention Board on a UK-wide basis. The figures for

Northern Ireland for farm-based irregularities reported are:

  • 1993: 2
  • 1994: 5
  • 1995: 1
