We understand the importance of Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) payments for farmers and their particular frustration in the first year of this new scheme.</p><p> </p><p>From 1 December 2015, the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) made full and accurate 2015 BPS payments which continued throughout the payment window.

They are also committed to improving payment performance in 2016, and 2016 should be easier as we will have both the systems and data already in place. Ministers have regular meetings with the RPA and closely monitor its performance.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 13/07/2016 16:09:59 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

We have been assisting the Thalidomide Trust in making their own representations directly to the German Government.</p><p> </p><p>At the request of representatives of the Thalidomide Trust the then Minister for Europe (Rt Hon David Lidington MP) wrote on 4 February to the German Ambassador to London, setting out the Trust’s desire for further discussions with the German Government and requesting his support in raising the matter within Germany. The Ambassador passed this request to the German Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth. The FCO received a response from the Families Ministry on 1 June. In this response the German Government sets out that UK survivors of Thalidomide are able to apply for compensation from the Contergan Foundation For Disabled People.</p><p> </p><p>The Contergan Foundation was established by the German Government to help disabled people whose deformities can be linked to their mothers taking medicinal products during pregnancy which contained thalidomide. While funded in part by the German Government, the Contergan Foundation is independent of the German Government who do not control or influence the awards made. As such the Families Ministry declined to meet the Thalidomide Trust for further discussions and reiterated their belief that British survivors should contact the Contergan Foundation.</p><p> </p><p>The UK Government remains in contact with the Thalidomide Trust to discuss all aspects of this case.</p> answering member constituency Rutland and Melton answering member printed Sir Alan Duncan question first answered 02/08/2016 15:45:25 answering member 343 label Biography information for Sir Alan Duncan

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/07/2016 answer text <p>We are committed to supporting communities throughout the process and encouraging more communities to join them. Reforms in the Housing and Planning Act 2016 will help to speed up and simplify the neighbourhood planning process. We are looking to introduce a new package of measures that would further strengthen the neighbourhood planning process when Parliamentary time allows over the course of the second session.</p><p>The neighbourhood planning legislation means that most challenges to neighbourhood planning decisions need to be brought within six weeks of the decision that is being challenged, rather than three months for most other judicial review proceedings, with no discretion to extend the time limit. This helps ensure that any associated delays are minimal. The establishment of the Planning Court in 2014 also means that it is more likely that these cases will be heard quickly by a specialist planning judge.</p> answering member constituency Croydon Central answering member printed Gavin Barwell question first answered 26/07/2016 10:16:26 answering member 3955 label Biography information for Lord Barwell
