The person named no longer holds the herd number shown. He applied to have the herd number transferred to another party in 2015. The person named submitted a Private Contract Clause (PCC) application to my Department seeking the transfer of land and entitlements by lease as transferor. In order to facilitate this transfer the person named applied to my Department for a PCC Number. In accordance with the Terms and Conditions underpinning the operation of Private Contract Clause applications, the person named retained 1.08 hectares of land in 2015 and was allocated a corresponding number of entitlements. In applying for the PCC number the person named signed a declaration that stated “I understand that no payments from the Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine will issue to me on foot of this PCC Number” and as such no monies are due or owing to the person named in respect of 2015 Basic Payments Scheme.
