Sir James Cleverly

Conservative — Braintree

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 December 2024

Debate

Farming and Inheritance Tax

Contribution

I have had correspondence from an agricultural accountant in my constituency who says that, since the Budget, his job has changed from being an accountant to being a counsellor as more and more farmers contact him with serious concerns about their mental health, because of the fear that has been introduced by this policy and the fact that their children are now telling them that they do not want to go into the family farm.
