Will the Minister outline his plans for the restoration of a national reserve for entitlements under the basic payment scheme, with particular reference to new entrants to farming, returning emigrants and what is generally termed the forgotten farmers? While there are a small number of them throughout the country, it is a very serious issue that must be dealt with. This year there is no national reserve. Is there a plan for one next year?
