Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 January 2026

Debate

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Contribution

That brings me to business property relief. Yes, attention has quite rightly been put on our farming community and the impact that this Labour Government are having on the wider supply chain associated with our rural economy, but in Keighley and Ilkley we also have many manufacturing businesses, many hoteliers, and a brewery—with which many hon. Members will be familiar because it serves an excellent pint. Those family businesses are impacted by the changes to BPR, and it is really frustrating; I do not think I have heard one Labour MP bring the narrative to Ministers or the Chancellor over the past 14 months, about the implications for many of those other family businesses beyond the farming world that are being impacted by the BPR liability.
