§ Alun MichaelThe table breaks down the CAP payments made by the RPA in the EAGGF financial year from 16 October 2001 to 15 October 2002.
Separate lines are shown for the IACS and non-IACS payments. In the latter category the beneficiaries are largely traders rather than farmers and the coverage is wider than England alone.
It is not possible to show the number of farmers and landowners who received amounts falling within the bands stipulated in the question without disproportionate cost.
