gives agrimonetary compensation


97/98 98/99 99/00 00/01 01/02 02/03
£0 £0 £152.4 £76.6 £28.6 £25

figures in £millions.

this shows the money paid as opposed the the amount that should have
been paid. Even in 99/00 they only paid a proportion, so I think that
you can assume a minimum of £250 million a year should have been going
into agriculture (I think I have heard figures of £500 million)

Thanks Jim, I suspect Torsten is pulling my leg:-)
