South West MEP Neil Parish has said that it is now time to put up
or shut up on the single farm payment.
Speaking from Brussels, Mr Parish warned commons Defra secretary
David Miliband that 80 per cent - pounds1.2billion - of the estimated
total fund for the 2006 farm subsidies have been paid in full or
partially to more than 100,000 farmers.
He said this means there are 8,500 farmers that have not received
a penny.
