The closing date for receipt of applications under the Salmon Hardship Scheme was 27 April 2007. Applicants have, however, until the 31 December 2007 to accept any offer under the scheme. This deadline, I believe, provides ample time for those concerned to give the scheme due consideration and accordingly, there are no plans to extend the application deadline.
