Will the Minister give us the number of farmers who applied but were not accommodated in this scheme?

There were 9,300 applicants altogether and 4,400 were accommodated.

Am I to understand that 5,000 farmers were qualified who have not been paid?

No. I gather that 5,000 farmers, for one reason or another, were not deemed to be qualified.

Has the scheme been completely finished and am I to take it that no further payments are due?

The scheme is limited to those who applied on or before 30 June 1982.

The Minister has said that 9,000 farmers applied. Is the Minister saying that 5,000 of them will not be paid?

For one reason or another, those 5,000 will not be considered.

In other words, they will not be paid.

No.
