Mr. Evans

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs on what date she expects compensation to former fur farmers to(a) begin and (b) be completed. [178287]

Mr. Bradshaw

We are currently, consulting on a draft Order that will enable us to set up the new compensation scheme. The Order sets out a timescale for payment. We expect to have made the majority of compensation payments by the end of the year.
