HC Deb 02 May 2002 vol 384 c945W
Mr. Flook

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the average time that agrimonetary compensation payments were overdue in(a) England, (b) the south-west and (c) Somerset was in 2001–02. [53308]

Mr. Morley

Payments of agrimonetary compensation in England due to be made in the financial year 2001–02 were nearly all made in that period. We have not interrogated the databases necessary to provide details of late payments as this could be done only at disproportionate cost.
