416. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason beef scheme payments for 2018 and 2019 did not issue to farmers (details supplied) when a herd number was amended to include a second name; the reason payments under BPS, ANC and so on did not issue when the herd number was amended to be held under joint names; if these missing BDGP payments will be expedited; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The herd number for the persons name has been amended to include a second name. To ensure compliance by both participants with the requirements of the programme, a Declaration of Undertaking signed by both participants was required for the BDGP. This was received on 18 November 2020, and has now been processed. Outstanding payments under BDGP will issue shortly.

Payments in respect of ANC and BPS have issued for the years in question and for 2020. Balancing payments under both these schemes are due to commence in early December.
