View answerMy Department received a Scottish Derogation application from the persons named on 14th May 2015.
In order to qualify for ‘Scottish Derogation’ applicants must submit verifiable evidence that they were engaged in agricultural production in 2013. An official from my Department has been in contact with the second named person to request this documentary evidence.
