Rachel Gilmour

Liberal Democrat — Tiverton and Minehead

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 December 2025

Debate

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Contribution

The hon. Gentleman is also a near neighbour of mine in Devon. Does he agree that the changes to agricultural property relief feels like a double taxation that burdens farming families in their old age? One can reasonably reach only one conclusion: this Government neither understand nor value this country’s farming communities —talk about biting the hand that literally feeds us. It is for this reason, amid a host of others adumbrated by colleagues across the Opposition Benches, that I will vote against the Bill this evening.
