DEFRA CAP Payments Search

Happened across this by chance and found it to be a good deal more user friendly than the previous search engine.

Just shared in case it might be useful for 'discussions down the pub' etc...

Thanks for posting these finds. Keep doing so please. I suggested to the TaxPayers' Alliance the other day that they build a single database that shows all the various scams in one place. It's all public money so should be available for public scrutiny but most people don't know where to look (or indeed to look). Would save hypothesising about which scams someone might be on and then asking about them specifically (perhaps having to make freedom of info requests etc). You could put in the name of any person or business and see what they've had for what. Like wikileaks for angry people in local newspapers.

Absolutely agree Alex!  A useful tool that would be!!

 

RDPE funding, its called ‘Leader’ roundabouts these parts, may have other names elsewhere would be an interesting case study. 

 

How much tut was made available, how much has been allocated, how much have the admin costs been and what evidence is there that some of the blatantly hair brained schemes have delivered stated outcomes.
