Written Answers. - Grant Payments.
The person named applied for special beef premium in respect of 24 animals on 16 November 2001.
This application was selected for an on-farm inspection. During the course of this inspection it was discovered that one animal applied on was female. Consequently, the person in question was deemed to have made a false declaration through serious negligence resulting in him being eliminated from the 2001 special beef premium scheme. The person named has been notified of the decision this week and of his right to a review. The person may also appeal the decision to the headage and premia appeals unit.
