To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs when his Department expects to make the 2005 single farm payment to Mr Francis, a constituent of the hon. Member for Sittingbourne and Sheppey. (137868)

The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) has checked its records and owing to there being several customers with the same surname in the Kent region RPA is unable to identify the Mr. Francis in question. In order to state when this payment will be made RPA will require Mr. Francis’ Single Business Identifier (SBI) number.
