Speaking in the House of Commons on 3 June 2025

Debate

Inheritance Tax: Family-owned Businesses

Contribution

I thank the hon. Gentleman for raising that issue; I completely agree. The Centre for Economics and Business Research found that nine out of every 10 privately owned businesses in the UK are family owned, and that they provide employment for nearly 16 million people and contribute more than £200 billion in taxes annually.
