USE 13 May 2005
Announcing a revision today to the rules governing the use
of agricultural land for motor sports during the 10-month
qualifying period under the Single Payment Scheme, Lord Bach,
Minister for Sustainable Farming and Food, said:
"Defra received a number of representations from motor
sport interests following the issue of new guidance on 29
March. Having considered these, I am happy to announce the
publication of updated guidance which now provides for motor
sports to take place on up to 28 days during farmers' 10-month
eligibility period on land used in support of 2005 Single
Payment claims. Guidance for 2006 and beyond will be reviewed
in the light of experience of this first year of the Single
Payment Scheme. "
