Dr Caroline Johnson

Conservative — Sleaford and North Hykeham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 October 2026

Debate

Inheritance Tax

Contribution

It is clear that the hon. Member is taking this issue very seriously and thinking about it very deeply. What does he think about inheritance tax on businesses? I give him the example of a bandage factory making sterile bandages, owned by a family, where the 40-odd-year-old gentleman currently running that factory stands to lose quite a lot of money when his father dies. That will mean laying off people or selling the factory. How does that help the people who work there?
