Rural Payments, Solar Energy, 'Green' Jobs
Environment secretary Liz Truss defends the Rural Payment Agency's online system to MPs, but some users tell how they are still struggling with it. Plus solar farms and green jobs.
While Environment Secretary Liz Truss defends the Rural Payment Agency's online system to MPs, we hear from users who're still struggling with it.
Also a farmer explains why he's turning his acres of arable over to solar farming - the answer's in the figures - and Green MEP Jean Lambert explains why she's pressing for the creation of 'green jobs'.
Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Mark Smalley.
