HC Deb 25 November 1996 vol 286 cc100-1W
Mr. Tipping

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will list by county the(a) average, (b) minimum and (c) maximum payment made in 1995 under the arable area payments scheme. [5699]

Mr. Baldry

The following table sets out the information requested for payments in England. Some claimants will have received more than one payment. The minimum figures given are for the smallest payments actually made; for most counties the minimum would otherwise have been nil because some claims will have been totally disallowed.
