What is the Rural Payments service?

The Rural Payments service is Defra’s online registration system for farmers, animal keepers and rural traders and businesses.

They can use it to register their details, see and update digital maps of their land and make online applications for certain rural grants and payments.

It can be used by any person or firm representing a farmer or farming business – such as a firm of agricultural agents.

Throughout the Rural Payments service, there is onscreen guidance which explains how to use it.

You must register on the Rural Payments service if you intend to keep farmed animals (or livestock) on your land or business premises.

Tories’ complacent attitude to relations with prison staff suggests they are still not serious about resolving the crisis – Burgon

Richard
Burgon MP, Labour’s Shadow Justice Secretary, commenting on reports that the
Government will take legal action over “unlawful” industrial action by prison
staff, said:

“The
Tories’ complacent attitude to relations with prison staff suggests they are
still not serious about resolving the crisis they have created in our prisons.

“Violence
is at record levels and more people are leaving the service than joining.

“After
having their last pay offer rejected, ministers have followed it up with one
which attempts to divides prison staff across the country and is condemned by
governors as well as by frontline officers.

“To
turn around this mess, we need a Justice Secretary who is serious about working
with prison officers and we need a Prisons Bill which will deliver serious
reform. Sadly, at the moment we have neither.”
