16 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry if he will give an update of the benefit to farmers of the concessions granted under the 1992 land annuity scheme.
About 37,800 farmers, or 90 per cent of all annuitants benefited from the land annuities scheme either by buying out their annuities at a discount of 50 per cent, having their annuities written-off where they were less than £20 or having their annuities reduced to a 10 per cent rate where they exceeded this figure.
