The question

To ask the Scottish Executive how much of this year's total agri-environment budget will be available for the Rural Stewardship Scheme once the costs of all other agri-environment schemes have been met.

The answer

Answered by Ross Finnie on 5 Oct 2001 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

It is not possible at this stage to say how much will be available for the Rural Stewardship Scheme because payments will be funded from modulation and it is too early to know how much will be raised by modulation of 2001 CAP payments.
