We are seeking views on likely uptake via our consultation.</p><p> </p><p>We intend to replace the Basic Payment Scheme with delinked payments in 2024. When payments are delinked, recipients won’t have to farm the land to receive the payments until they have been phased out by the end of 2027.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/06/2021 answer text <p>We know that some farmers who wish to retire or leave the industry can find it difficult to do so and lack of finance can be one of the barriers to exit. We think that a lump sum exit scheme could help such farmers leave the industry in a planned way. By freeing up land, the scheme will also open up opportunities for new entrants and expanding farmers.</p><p>We believe that the proposed lump sum exit scheme will offer good value for the taxpayer. The lump sum will be in place of the Direct Payments farmers could otherwise have received between 2022 to 2027, as we transition to our new farming system outside the Common Agricultural Policy.</p><p>This means that the scheme will not increase overall spending on farming. It will not affect the money available for other schemes.</p><p>To ensure value for money for the taxpayer, we have proposed a payment cap that will make sure farmers do not receive a lump sum which is higher in value than the amount they could have otherwise received in Direct Payments for 2022 to 2027.</p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 01/06/2021 14:58:03 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis

This ambitious report sets out the industry’s potential contributions to delivering the 25 Year Environment Plan, and how it can help to underwrite the environmental challenges facing the UK.</p><p> </p><p>In the past year £1 million has been made available through the Tree Production Innovation Fund to encourage adoption of new technologies and ways of working, and a further £2.6 million has been made available in capital grants to support climate and disease resilience and expand nursery capacity. We are also exploring new data sharing practices to help better plan for supply and demand in the sector. This will support nurseries and seed suppliers to produce the right stock at the right time.</p><p> </p><p>We will be publishing a public consultation on proposed long-term targets to be set under the Environment Act 2021. During the consultation we will be interested in hearing the views of all interested sectors, and the delivery of targets will require actions across the economy.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Banbury answering member printed Victoria Prentis question first answered 21/01/2022 09:46:45 answering member 4401 label Biography information for Victoria Prentis
