Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 December 2025

Debate

Agricultural and Business Property Relief: Food Prices

Contribution

Merry Christmas, Mr Speaker. The cost of food in this country increased by 4.2% year on year last month, yet farming profitability is on the floor and has been hit repeatedly by this Government, whether that is in national insurance contribution increases, the family farm tax or energy taxes. Will the Government consider easing their terrible tax burden on farmers to solve both the cost of living crisis for food and the farming profitability crisis at the same time?
