Prince Charles' Letters

Time's running out for farmers in Wales and Northern Ireland to submit their claims for European subsidy payments. It's been a year of enormous change - with reform of the Common Agricultural Policy, and England starting out by demanding online-only submissions. Because of the difficulties, England and Scotland have pushed the deadline back to mid June. But for Wales and Northern Ireland it's this Friday - so will they make it?
