Dame Harriett Baldwin

Conservative — West Worcestershire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 January 2026

Debate

Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief

Contribution

Worcestershire’s farmers have had to endure 14 months of sleepless nights over this policy before this partial U-turn. The Minister has hinted, at the Dispatch Box today, that he appreciates he will also have to U-turn on business property rates, because of the transitional relief coming off too quickly. Can he commit to the House that he will do that U-turn in less than 14 months?
