Your details safe in their hands? In an exclusive in The Farmer, it is reported that:
The bank accounts of every farmer in England have been at risk after the Rural Payments Agency lost confidential data belonging to anyone who has ever claimed a single farm payment.The responsibility lies with that model of administrative efficiency, DEFRA. The Register accurately assesses their competence:
DEFRA is currently making a complete manure pile of the single payments system for farmers and this tape loss revelation will confirm farmers' views about DEFRA. Namely that it's a complete pile of poo so bad that they wouldn't even spread it on their fields.
