John Milne

Liberal Democrat — Horsham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 December 2025

Debate

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Contribution

In 2023, the Prime Minister told the National Farmers Union that “losing a farm is not like losing any other business”. He has also said, “If somebody makes powerful representations, then my instinct is to consider what’s being said. Getting it right is more important than ploughing on with a package which doesn’t necessarily achieve the desired outcome.” Is it not time that the Prime Minister followed his instincts and abandoned the family farm tax?
