Regulation 12 Obligation to permit entry and inspection
An applicant or beneficiary shall permit any person duly authorised by the Secretary of State, accompanied by such persons acting under his instructions as appear to that authorised person to be necessary for the purpose, at all reasonable times and on production on demand of some duly authenticated document showing his authority to enter upon the holding or common grazing for the purpose of—
carrying out any inspection of such holding or common grazing or any document or record in the possession or under the control of the applicant or beneficiary relating to, or which the authorised person may reasonably suspect relates to, an application, with a view to verifying the accuracy of any particulars given in an application or claim under regulation 11(5) or in any undertaking made by a new occupier pursuant to regulation 10(1)(b); and
ascertaining whether the applicant or beneficiary has duly complied with any undertaking given by him under these Regulations.
An applicant or beneficiary shall render all reasonable assistance to the authorised officer in relation to the matters mentioned in paragraph (1) above, and in particular shall—
produce such document or record as may be required by that officer for inspection;
permit the authorised person to take copies or extracts from any such document or record;
where any such document or record is kept by means of a computer produce it in a form in which it may easily be read and taken away; and
at the request of the authorised person, accompany him in making the inspection of any land and identify any area of land which is concerned in any application or in any undertaking given by a new occupier under regulation 10 to comply with the obligations undertaken by the original beneficiary.
