Following a training run first thing, I headed to the Commons, nursing a sore tendon. Nothing too major. A busy morning working on casework, before I headed to the Chamber for an Urgent Question on the announcement by the Rural Payments' Agency that their on-line mapping system had been closed due to technical errors. Minister George Eustice stood in for the Secretary of State and explained what had gone wrong. Most farmers have registered on the new system, but they cannot input details of their farms on the actual map. So, it looks as if farmers will have to that on paper. The deadline to make their submissions has been extended by a month. But the Minister was unable to reassure me when I asked whether farmers on indeed the UK would face EU fines if this extended deadline was not met. Following this session, Defence Secretary Michael Fallon was next up giving reviewing our defence capability on the Falklands. The threat of invasion is unlikely but Russia is in talks with Argentina about selling them some aircraft and Argentina continues to claim sovereignty over the islands, which the islanders themselves have rejected. With defence spending very much on the political radar, we were all keen to hear what Mr Fallon had to say. His whole statement can be found on Hansard. In short Mr Fallon announced that military support helicopters would return to the islands, that communication equipment would be enhanced, reassurance that Rapier, the anti aircraft system, would be replaced at the end of the decade and that £180 million would be spent improving and modernising the infrastructure on the islands. Ground forces, both military and civilian, would remain at 1,200. Naturally, the many questions that followed veered towards defence expenditure and how important it was for us to keep our guard up. Back to my office until I attended an end of term drink with my colleague David Davis.
