Rural Payments Agency

Proceeding contribution from Gavin Strang (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 March 2006. It occurred during Urgent question on Rural Payments Agency.
As has been said, Scottish farmers have already received their single farm payments. May I assure my right hon. Friend, however, that they derive no satisfaction whatever from the situation in England? They understand, as she does, how vital those payments are to the incomes of working farmers in England. Indeed, she has pointed out that failure to receive them could result in people being pushed above their bank borrowing limit. She has undertaken to keep the House informed of developments. Will she make a statement on the matter after the Easter recess?
