Rural Payments Agency

Proceeding contribution from David Curry (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 March 2006. It occurred during Urgent question on Rural Payments Agency.
Is the Secretary of State aware that under the old integrated administration and control scheme introduced by the previous Government, each form was dealt with by a single official in a single payment centre? Is she aware that under the new system each form is divided into tasks, so it is not merely shuffled between officials but between centres—at the mercy of a failing computer system, which has managed to wipe off all the hill farm allowance payments for my constituency? Can we not revert to a system that gives the farmer accountability and the official efficiency, and liberates us from the tyranny of the computer?
