European Union (Finance) Bill

The Minister would probably get more information from The Scottish Farmer than he is getting from his civil service briefs. There was €220 million of

convergence money to take account of the fact that per hectare, particularly in Scotland, we were receiving so much less than the minimum that was allocated to other countries. The question is quite a simple one. The vast majority of people think that it would have been fair to distribute that convergence funding per hectare, because that was why we were getting it. Why was that not done, and will he revisit that bad decision?
