In relation to WAQ75656, will the Cabinet Secretary confirm the total monies to date that have been paid under the current rural development programme and indicate how much of the current rural development programme has been allocated?

Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Energy, Planning and Rural Affairs | Answered on 30/01/2018

The total paid to date under the current rural development programme is £167,893,688.

 

In March 2017 I announced I had committed the final tranche of funding under the Rural Development Programme. The scheme windows and other activities included in this final tranche fully commit the EU allocation for the programme.
