<p>It is right that the public are informed of how and where public funds are spent.
We intend that information currently made available through our CAP Payments Search
pages will continue to be published after the UK leaves the EU. This will apply in
relation to payments made in England under the legacy CAP schemes, using retained
CAP legislation, until the planned end of our agricultural transition period in 2027,
or until the legacy schemes have ended, if earlier.</p><p> </p><p>Clause 2 of the
Agriculture Bill contains powers to enable information to be published in relation
to the new system of payments that will replace CAP schemes. This includes information
on who receives payments and for what purpose. The exact nature of that information
will be determined during the design process and in close discussion with stakeholders
and across government. We will need to ensure a balance between transparency of public
expenditure and commercial sensitivities.</p><p> </p>
