As previously advised in reply to a question from the Deputy on 12 February 2008, after expiry of an existing lease and the reversion of entitlements from the person named to another farmer, no application to transfer entitlements was received under the 2007 Single Payment Scheme year. The person named was advised of this and subsequently submitted an application to transfer 17.88 entitlements by way of lease from another farmer for the 2007 scheme year.
This late application was received on 15 February 2008 and was accepted. As essential elements of the application form were incomplete it was necessary to return it to the person named for completion. The completed form was received on 29 February 2008 and the requested transfer was completed on the same day. A supplementary payment relating to these leased entitlements issued to the person named on 31 March 2008.
