Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how much money they have paid in total to farmers as direct payments.

By the end of February 2020, the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) have paid £1.91 billion to farmers, land managers and foresters in England. The RPA fully appreciates how important these payments are and are working hard to ensure remaining payments are made as quickly as possible.
