The preparation of documents relating to the new agri-environment scheme is at an advanced stage and I hope to be in a position to publish them and to launch the scheme shortly. I am arranging to have the Deputy provided with a copy of a presentation, outlining the structure of the scheme in general terms, which my officials are making today to the Joint Committee on Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.
