Mr. Raymond S. Robertson

The distribution by size of payments against set-aside claims under the 1995 arable area payments scheme is not yet available as not all payments have been made in those cases where non-food crops have been grown on set-aside land. However, my noble Friend the Minister will write to the hon. Member when the figures requested are available.
