I propose to take Questions Nos. 139 to 141, inclusive, together.
Where commonage is included in a GLAS application, a Commonage Management Plan or a Commonage Farm Plan as appropriate, must be submitted before GLAS payment for the 2017 scheme year can be processed.
Payments cannot issue if commonage framework plans are not completed and submitted.
Over 9,000 shareholders across over 3,800 commonages have declared commonage in their GLAS applications. The necessary pre-payment checks, to be carried out over the coming weeks, will determine the number of shareholders who have subscribed to the individual management plans.
