Answer from Hansard
The Prime Minister
I think everybody welcomes the £5 billion over the next two years that we put in the Budget— [ Interruption. ] Opposition Members shake their heads, but we have put in £350 million in the last week alone, compared with the £300 million underspend by the last Government. As the hon. Gentleman well knows, in an ordinary family case the threshold is £3 million, which means the vast majority of farmers will be unaffected.
