Mr. Paul Savage:

From our point of view, it is an absolute priority to get the payments out sooner rather than later. Doing this results in knock-on benefits in terms of getting balancing payments out sooner, so it is absolutely a priority of ours to make the payments as quickly as we can. It also allows us to increase the overall amount of money going out to farmers, because the advance payments are 85% of the payments for farmers overall. That is our absolute priority.
