It is something we are working on and of which we are cognisant. It is fair to say that even since trees were planted, and I do not even know the date from which this happened, farms are still in receipt of their basic payment scheme, BPS, payment under that area whereas previously, that was removed from the direct payments. It is something on which we are following up. When we have information we will share it with the Deputy.

I will say to Deputy Sherlock that it is totally unacceptable that his constituent had that experience. I am sorry that is the situation in which she finds herself. The Deputy has given us the details and has written to me already.
