According to Oxfam, the majority of these payments were export subsidies, which enabled Tate & Lyle to dump excess sugar on world markets, undermining poor farmers overseas.
Also prominent in the list, were members of the British aristocracy, including the Dukes of Westminster (£448,000), Marlborough (£511,000) and Bedford (£366,000), the Earl of Plymouth (£459,000), and the Marquess of Cholmondely (£306,000).
