Motion

Farmers' Basic Payment Scheme (Revised Wording)

Farmers' Basic Payment Scheme (Revised Wording)
That this Assembly recognises the significant investment in rural communities and businesses, and the wider economy derived from the Single Farm Payment under the EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP); agrees that CAP Single Farm Payments were critical to supporting farms to be financially viable and more environmentally sustainable, particularly small family farms; is concerned with the significant uncertainty facing our farming community with the loss of CAP Single Farm Payments as a result of Brexit and the end of the replacement Basic Payment Scheme worth £300m a year, beyond 2024; and calls on the Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to urgently press the British Government to set out what replacement funds will be put in place to support our farmers and the wider agricultural sector.
