I propose to take Questions Nos. 163, 165, 166, 167 and 168 together.
Lands owned attract REPS payments as do lands leased for a minimum of five years.
REPS participants with owned commonage lands or with other lands, in natural heritage areas (NHAs), including special areas of conservation (SACs) and special protection areas (SPAs), whether owned or leased for a minimum of five years, can under the new REPS measure claim payments on this land up to a maximum of 300 acres at the following rates: £80 per acre for the first 100 acres; £8 per acre between 101 and 200 acres; and £6 per acre between 201 and 300 acres. Leased commonage lands are not eligible under this measure.
