The question
To ask the Scottish Executive how many applicants there have been for the single farm payment and, of these, how many have (a) had their payment confirmed but not yet paid and (b) received payment, broken down by local authority area.
The answer
As at 1 December, 21,924 claims have been submitted and of these, my officials estimate that 11,175 producers (51%) have been confirmed in the sense of passing eligibility checks. My department has not made any payments under the Single Farm Payment Scheme as yet so I am not able at this time to provide the breakdown as requested.
