The following figures represent the total direct aid paid to Cornwall, Devon and England for 2015 and 2016 under the Basic Payment Scheme; and for each year between 2010 and 2014 under its predecessor, the Single Payment Scheme.

answer text <p>Subsidies are not paid to support shooting activities. Grouse moors are also used by farmers for grazing; specific data on payments to farmers who maintain grouse moors is not held as payments under the Common Agricultural Policy are made to eligible claimants on the basis of the area of agricultural land they own, not the activities which may take place on that land. Payments that farmers in moorland areas receive under the Common Agricultural Policy help them maintain our moorlands and deliver a significant boost for tourism and the rural economy in these areas.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) provides a range of centralised functions across a number of EU chemicals regimes, including facilitating collective decisions amongst EU Member States. Under the EU REACH Regulation, it manages data about chemicals on the EU market. Chemicals manufactured or imported in quantities above 1 tonne a year must be registered with ECHA to access the single market.</p><p>The UK’s current involvement with ECHA comes as part of our membership of EU. ECHA is funded mainly through a combination of industry fees for a variety of the services it provides and direct EU funding. The higher the income generated from fees, the lower the EU budget subsidy. As ECHA is an agency of the EU, the UK’s contribution to its running costs is through our general contribution to the EU budget.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this
