Since leaving the EU, the legal framework set out in the Agricultural Act 2020 sought to phase out annual payments under the Basic Payments Scheme (BPS) over a seven-year period until 2027, replacing the BPS with delinked payments that are not based on the size of land owned by an individual. These Regulations continue the annual reductions made to this payment scheme.
On 31 March 2025 the Regulations were voted on as the Opposition parties wanted to put this SI to a vote: The result: Ayes 296, Noes 164.
