Will he confirm that he has done something for the very small cohort of farmers who entered the sector in 2008 and 2009 in respect of access to the national reserve? Will he confirm that the top-up he is giving those farmers is in no way equivalent to the top-up that is being given to qualifying young farmers who are excluded from the top-up from TAMS? Does the Minister intend to re-examine the situation and ensure farmers from 2008 and 2009 and those who received installation aid, which was a finite sum of money, have access to the national reserve, the BPS greening and the TAMS top-up on the same terms as everyone else?
