I propose to take Questions Nos. 301 to 303, inclusive, together.
The Land Parcel Identification System (LPIS) stores the land parcel details for all Department area based schemes. The information stored is used for BPS, ANC, GLAS, Organics and Forestry Schemes.
GLAS payments are made based on the land parcels that are claimed by the GLAS applicant in the annual BPS application. Parcels are re-digitised for a number of reasons including changes submitted by the Herd Owner on the annual BPS application, Department Ground and Remote Sensing inspections and reviews when new imagery is received. It is an EU requirement that all changes to land are recorded on the LPIS database and any ineligible land identified is recorded.
My Department does not hold the specific data requested. It should be noted that in the majority of cases where reconciliation of the data on the BPS application is required the issue is in relation to crop codes and not in relation to redigitisation of maps. These cases are identified in the validation process and my Department contacts the individuals affected to resolve the issue.
