I have two quick queries. One concerns commonages on national parkland. The National Parks and Wildlife Service tends to lease them on ten month rather than five year leases. There was an agreement of five years under REPS. My second query concerns eligible land which is deemed ineligible, but is recoverable. If one is in a commonage management plan next year, rather than have to stack and lose the benefit of convergence, if one had signed up to a commonage management plan which would see the area recover and become eligible a derogation would be given.
