We had a debate here in Parliament about the changes to Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief.

I understand why the Government want to claw back money from big estates, or from people who buy farms just to avoid inheritance tax — that's fair enough.

But I cannot understand why they are focusing on family farms.

The National Farmers Union has offered various compromises and the Minister should meet the NFU in a positive way to ensure that we keep our family farms run by families.
