<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). This commitment applies to the whole of the UK.</p><p>
</p><p>The Government has further guaranteed that the current level of agricultural
funding under CAP Pillar 1 will be upheld until 2020, as part of the transition to
new domestic arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>To deliver this, Defra has made a number
of statutory instruments under the powers in the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018.
These statutory instruments provide certainty and stability to individuals and businesses
by maintaining the current approach, ensuring the relevant EU-derived domestic legislation
is operable following the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, and allowing the current CAP
arrangements to continue to operate and payments to beneficiaries to be made.</p>
