Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask His Majesty's Government how much was paid to farmers through the Slurry Infrastructure grant in 2022.
To date no payments are due under the Slurry Infrastructure Grant.

Once work has been completed claims will be submitted and payments issued.
