Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether the funding for the Environmental Land Management Scheme will be split equally between the Sustainable Farming Incentive, Local Nature Recovery and Landscape Recovery schemes.

We broadly envisaged an equal split of funding for activities across farm level, locally tailored and landscape scale. This is only indicative. Unlike the EU schemes, these are not hard pillars and we have the ability to respond to demand from farmers.
