The person named applied for an allocation of quota from the National Reserve under the category which provides for reserve quota to be allocated to producers who were paid premium on a lower number than normal in 1991 because of exceptional circumstances. As the person named was paid ewe premium for the first time in 1991 he had no previous ewe premium history and does not therefore qualify for an allocation of quota from the reserve under this category.
He also applied under the category which provides for quota to be allocated to producers who acquired land formerly used by other producers for sheep production. He has been requested to submit documentary evidence to support his claim but he has not done so to date. When he does his application will be reviewed.
