HC Deb 18 November 1996 vol 285 c447W
Mr. Tipping

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what was (i) the maximum, (ii) the minimum and (iii) the average payment made under the arable area payments scheme in 1995. [3633]

Mr. Baldry

In the 1995 scheme year, the highest payment under the arable area payments scheme in England was for £2,040,092.26. The smallest payment that could be claimed in 1995 was £80.75, but some claimants may have received less than this because of the application of administrative penalties under the scheme. The average total payment per claim was £24,296.
