It was a pleasure to meet with Lincolnshire farmers today thanks to the NFU's action day here in London.

The Government's changes to Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief are threatening to end the culture of family farming that has stood us such good stead in England for centuries.

I have been engaging constructively with the Labour Government to try and persuade them to alter their plans and to increase the threshold for both rates.

My thanks to our Lincolnshire NFU friends for their help in organising today.
