Rural Payments
EDM number 117 in 2005-06, proposed by James Paice on 17/05/2005.
That this House recognises that the delays in rural payments to farmers are a direct result of the complexity of the system that the Government introduced; notes the serious cash flow problems this has caused for farmers; calls on the Government to make a specific undertaking to make interim payments based on farmers' historic entitlements; and calls for an assurance from the Government that farmers will not be penalised for the delays in registering land for the Single Payment Scheme as a result of problems within the Rural Payments Agency.
This motion has been signed by a total of 76 MPs.
