The distribution by size of payments against set-aside claims under the 1995 arable area payments scheme is not yet available as not all payments have been made in those cases where non-food crops have been grown on set-aside land. However, my noble Friend the Minister will write to the hon. Member when the figures requested are available.

There is no central record of the number of occasions on which Lords Advocate or Solicitors General for Scotland have represented the Crown in criminal proceedings.

They have done so on numerous occasions, when their parliamentary and other duties have permitted.
