§ Mr. McLoughlinTo ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what the total amount of money paid in subsidies to farmers in West Derbyshire was in(a) 2001–02 and (b) 2002–03; and what the estimated total amount paid in subsidies to farmers in West Derbyshire will be in 2012. [163747]
§ Alun MichaelThe following table shows the total amount of money paid in subsidies to farmers in South and West Derbyshire in 2001–02 and 2002–03. The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) is unable to provide figures solely for West Derbyshire as the NUTS (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) coding structure used for regional analysis does not contain a code for West Derbyshire. The nearest regional code is for South and West Derbyshire to which the figures in the table refer.
Due to the on-going changes resulting from the Common Agricultural Policy Mid Term Review, it is not possible for RPA to estimate a figure for subsidies that will be paid to farmers in West Derbyshire in 2012.
The European Agriculture Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF) financial year runs from 16 October to 15 October.
