answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>We consulted on proposals for changes to the regional direct payment rates in October 2013, and announced our decision in December to align the payment rates in relation to the lowland and severely disadvantaged areas (SDAs). We also said that we would undertake further analysis and consultation on the appropriate payment rate for the moorland region. We received several contributions to the analysis from stakeholders, and consulted further through the Direct Payments Consultative Group and other forums. Our decision in April confirmed that the payment rate in the moorland will be increased by approximately the same cash amount as the uplift previously announced for the rate in the rest of the SDA. The decision has been welcomed by a number of organisations representing hill and moorland farmers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 18/06/2014 11:22:34 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice
