gives agrimonetary compensation

figures in £millions.
(Note, the source is misquoted. The number £25 is not a forecast
of 02/03 (*). It is the RPA administered fraction of the forecasted
£28.6 million payed out in 01/02.)

According to the NFU, over the past 3 years, agrimonetary compensation
has been potentially available, to a sum total of £433 million, of
which £291 million was actually paid. That is £142 million/3 years, or
£47 million/yr. gone missing. That's only a few % of the total dole
handed out to you during that period. How can this be significant for
your situation?

(* Looking into the future, the British governments decision not to
claim full agrimonetary compensation in 2001 will mean a further minus
to you of about £40 million during 2002/03.)
