Robbie Moore

Conservative — Keighley and Ilkley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 16 December 2025

Debate

Finance (No. 2) Bill

Contribution

The hon. Member makes an excellent point, and not only Cornish farmers, but those right across the country are being impacted by this Government’s decisions. He also makes the excellent point that many of our farming businesses are incredibly highly geared, given the level of debt associated with their businesses, and are not returning a level of income to even contribute towards paying an IHT liability at 20% over and above the £1 million threshold. They will therefore be subject to a death tax that they will simply be unable to pay.
