Speaking in the House of Lords on 7 September 2026

Debate

Rural Businesses: Taxation

Contribution

My Lords, the family farm tax is both hated and feared. It taxes a business asset as if it is personal wealth. I know that the Minister was not consulted—nor was her department—before the tax was put in place. Will she reassure the House, which I know appreciates all that she does for us, that she will personally make representations to this Chancellor before this Budget, as those of us who care about the countryside and the NFU are currently doing, to make sure that this hated tax can be removed?
