Recommendation 8
We intend to return to this subject in the second
part of our inquiry, to be conducted in due course. At that time
we will address issues including:
- Cross-compliance, and what
public goods are expected to be delivered in return for continuing
public support for agriculture;
- The particular details of what will be required
of farmers under an entry-level scheme; and
- The specific issues faced by sectors such
as orchards, forestry, keeping horses and others. (Paragraph 27)
The Government welcome the Committee's interest in
this area of Defra's work and will co-operate with its inquiry
fully. The areas it has highlighted for a further inquiry are
important areas and ones that will have a major impact on the
farming and rural community.
