The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether funding will be made available to the Scottish Government under the Barnett Formula from the Sustainable Farming Incentive.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

No, as agriculture is devolved, it will be for the Scottish Government to allocate any funding to farmers in Scotland. The Sustainable Farming Incentive uses funds allocated to farmers in England only.
