Performance of the Rural Payments Agency inquiry
Closed
What the inquiry looked at
“In spring 2016 the EFRA Committee produced a Report into the Rural Payments Agency's (RPA) performance the previous winter . This Report scrutinised the work of the RPA in making accurate and timely Basic Payment Scheme payments to farmers and made recommendations on how to improve the RPA's future performance. The Committee has opened a new inquiry to monitor the RPA's performance in winter 2016-17. The Committee would welcome submissions on all aspects of the RPA's work but especially its performance in making Basic Payment Scheme payments.”
