Sarah Gibson

Liberal Democrat — Chippenham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 November 2024

Debate

Rural Affairs

Contribution

Family farms are a key part of the fabric of our countryside, as farmers in my rural constituency tell me every day. They have spent all weekend trying to get my attention just to tell me that. What really worries me about the changes to inheritance tax in the Budget is that they will directly and disproportionately affect small family farms. Does my hon. Friend agree that that will have a devastating effect on small farms, and on our food security?
