Dr Luke Evans

Conservative — Hinckley and Bosworth

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 January 2026

Debate

Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief

One question is: what changed the Government’s mind? The second question is: who made the decision—the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Secretary, the Prime Minister or the Chancellor—and how long did they take to persuade the others to make that right decision?
