This issue has been well-documented by the Deputy, his colleagues and others. Approximately 94% of applicants have been paid under GLAS. Documentation is awaited for 1,200 applications while another 1,400 are under review. The loading of information relating to the knowledge transfer scheme was not being accepted but that has been resolved and the deadline has been extended to 31 July. Of the 11,800 applications under TAMS, more than 3,300 payments have issued. A total of 1,394 claims were received with 898 payments issued. The online payment claims facility has been open since July 2016 and payments are issuing on an ongoing basis. TAMS II had a three-year window, which is delaying payments. It, however, gives applicants a window to claim. The payments, therefore, are not being drawn down as quickly as they might be if there was a one-year deadline for the completion of works.
