The persons named submitted a 2016 Transfer of Entitlements application seeking the transfer of entitlements by gift from their mother. This application has been fully processed and acceptance letters issued to both transferor and transferees on 2 November 2016. The persons named have also submitted two 2016 Transfer of Entitlements applications seeking the transfer of entitlements by lease to two separate farmers. These applications are currently being finalised and the persons named will receive written confirmation of these transfers shortly.

As all entitlements held by the persons named have been leased out in 2016 in line with the Transfer of Entitlements applications submitted to my Department, there are no remaining entitlements held by the persons named on which a 2016 Basic Payment Scheme payment can be made.
