Direct Payments to Farmers (Legislative Continuity) Act 2020
Proposed Direct Payments to Farmers (Amendment) Regulations 2020
We have received consent notifications in relation to two UK statutory instrument proposals. The first is on the proposed direct payments to farmers (amendment) regulations 2020. If there are no comments, do members agree to write to the Scottish Government to confirm that the committee is content for consent for the UK statutory instrument proposal that is referred to in the notification to be given?
Members indicated agreement.
Proposed Direct Payments Ceilings Regulations 2020
We move on to item 10. Does any member wish to comment on the proposed direct payments ceilings regulations 2020? If there are no comments—[Interruption.]
Peter Chapman has a question, convener.
Why is the Bew money not included in this round of payments, and when will it be delivered to Scottish agriculture?
No one in the meeting can answer that specific question, so we could put it in our report, if you are happy with that.
Okay.
As there are no other comments, does the committee agree to write to the Scottish Government to confirm that it is content for consent to be given to the SI proposal?
Members indicated agreement.
