I propose to take Questions Nos. 571 and 572 together.

During initial processing of the 2013 Single Payment Scheme application of the person named, a number of errors relating to parcels claimed under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme and also claimed by the person named under the Forestry Scheme were identified. As subsequent validations have now confirmed this land as eligible under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme, the application of the person named will be further processed to ensure that this will be reflected in the balancing payment due to issue to farmers from 1 December 2013.

As processing of the application of the person named under the 2013 Single Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas Scheme was recently finalised, payments issued, directly to the nominated bank account of the person named, on 7 November and 15 November 2013 in respect of each Scheme, respectively.
