answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2017 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> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 08/09/2017 13:59:46 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

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> answering member printed Lord Gardiner of Kimble question first answered 20/07/2017 15:13:15 answering member 4161 label Biography information for Lord Gardiner of Kimble
