Labour — Chipping Barnet

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 January 2026

Debate

Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief

Contribution

The Government have set the thresholds for tax policies over the period of the OBR’s forecast, and it would not be right for me to comment on the changes that may or may not happen after that. May I say to the right hon. Gentleman that throughout the time that Margaret Thatcher was in power, we did not have a system like the current system, so he is not quite right to say that this relief has always been there? It was not there when the political hero of many Conservative Members was in power.
