Luke Murphy

Labour — Basingstoke

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 December 2024

Debate

Farming and Inheritance Tax

Contribution

On the point about facts, I was fascinated by the end of the shadow Secretary of State’s contribution. She opined on whether Labour was sticking to its promise to end the decline in the countryside. I wonder who was in government for the last 14 years while the countryside was declining. The Conservative Government sold out British farmers through trade deals and 12,000 farming businesses went out of business. Does my hon. Friend agree?
