answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/02/2020 answer text <p>The Government plans to phase out Direct Payments to farmers in England over a seven year agricultural transition period. For the first year of the transition, 2021, we will reduce Direct Payments by up to an already announced set of percentages, which could free up to around £150 million to reinvest into the delivery of public goods and providing support for farmers during the transition. We will set the reduction percentages for the later years of the transition taking account of our detailed plans for future schemes and wider discussions about Government spending.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s election manifesto guaranteed the current annual budget in every year of the new Parliament, giving significant certainty on funding for the coming years. In England this will enable the Government to provide financial support for the purposes set out in the Agriculture Bill.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 17/02/2020 11:21:18 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
