	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>As at 27 March 2019, our records show that 93 academies are in the process of transferring to different trusts. 89 of the 93 cases have been in progress for less than 12 months.</p><p>The longest period that one of these academies has been awaiting transfer is 23 months. When transferring an academy from one trust to another, there may be a number of things that can take time to resolve with the incoming trust who has agreed to take on the school, such as private finance initiative contracts – which can be the most problematic, issues relating to land, financial matters, or the process of transferring staff from one trust to another. A substantial majority of academy transfers are voluntary agreements between trusts.</p><p>Where there are concerns regarding an academy’s performance, the department would seek, wherever possible, to put in place school improvement support while the transfer is underway.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 11/04/2019 16:56:01 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2019 answer text <p>Leaving the European Union provides a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reform agriculture. Phasing out Direct Payments in England will free up money so we can reward farmers for delivering public goods, including environmental outcomes. We will phase out Direct Payments gradually over a transition period of 7 years. This will give time for farmers to adapt and prepare for the new environmental land management system, which will allow farmers to decide how best they can deliver environmental benefits from their business and their land.</p><p> </p><p>We will pay Direct Payments for the 2019 scheme year on the same basis as for 2018 and plan to allocate the money paid in Direct Payments for 2020 in much the same way that we do now. The Government has also pledged to continue to commit the same cash total in funds for farm support until the end of the Parliament, expected in 2022. The figure includes all EU and Exchequer funding provided for farm support under both Pillar 1 and Pillar 2. Furthermore, all Pillar 2 agreements signed by 31 December 2020 will be funded for their lifetime.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 11/04/2019 15:05:07 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

These include complex rules, requirements, processes and systems which have made the scheme overly complicated. The Rural Payments Agency took on responsibility for issuing Countryside Stewardship and Environmental Stewardship payments in October 2018. It is simplifying the administration of the scheme as far as possible under the current EU system by streamlining processes, making changes to IT systems and boosting the workforce to speed up processing.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 15/04/2019 11:54:58 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
