answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>The new Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme will be available from late 2024, part way through the transition period over which the Basic Payment Scheme is to be phased out. ELM will enable farmers, foresters and other land managers to secure income in exchange for providing environmental benefits: public funds for public goods. Among the public goods for which payments will be available is the maintenance and enhancement of our landscape heritage.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 03/09/2019 16:54:44 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

uin	282269
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>Our ambitious new Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme will be the cornerstone of our agricultural policy in England after we leave the EU. Due to the environmental quality of upland areas, upland farmers will be well placed to benefit from the new ELM system which will reward land managers for the public goods they provide and deliver an income stream.</p><p> </p><p>We have pledged to continue to commit the same cash total in funds for farm support until the end of this Parliament, expected in 2022. This includes all funding provided for farm support under both Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 of the current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). We are working across Government to develop future funding arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>We will phase out Direct Payments in England during an agricultural transition period, giving time for farmers to adjust. We plan to start reducing payments in 2021. We aim to phase out Direct Payments completely by the end of the transition period, with the last payments being made for the 2027 scheme year.</p><p> </p><p>We expect that simplified versions of Countryside Stewardship will continue to be open to new applicants, including an uplands offer and capital grants. We are also currently considering whether or not to continue to extend certain Higher Level Stewardship Scheme agreements that offer strong continued environmental benefits expiring in 2019. Upland areas will continue to deliver outcomes and new agreements can be set up as we test and refine the new ELM arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 03/09/2019 16:56:45 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2019 answer text <p>The Government has pledged to continue to commit the same cash total in funds for farm support until the end of this Parliament, expected in 2022. This includes all funding provided for farm support under both Pillar 1 and Pillar 2 of the current Common Agricultural Policy (CAP).</p><p> </p><p>Phasing out Direct Payments over seven years from 2021 is a key part of the transition away from the CAP in England and towards our future domestic agriculture policy. This will free up funding for new domestic policies that will focus on using public money to deliver public goods. We will set Direct Payment reduction percentages taking account of our detailed plans for future schemes and wider decisions about Government spending.</p><p> </p><p>The cornerstone of the new approach is the development of a new Environmental Land Management (ELM) scheme. As we make the transition to the new arrangements, we will be piloting the scheme before its full introduction. Alongside the ELM pilots in the early years of the transition we will continue to offer a simplified version of Countryside Stewardship. We have also set out the intention to develop other offers for the industry including on productivity and animal welfare.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 03/09/2019 16:53:21 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
