Mr. Martlew
To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food which of his grant schemes currently operating are monitored; what is the target for that monitoring; what action is taken if abuses are discovered; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Curry
All applications for aid under the Ministry's capital grant schemes are carefully checked to ensure that they are valid and comply with the rules of the scheme. The action which is taken if abuses are discovered will depend on the circumstances but can include loss of grant and prosecution.
