Farming and Inheritance Tax

Proceeding contribution from Simon Hoare (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 December 2024. It occurred during Opposition day on Farming and Inheritance Tax.

My right hon. Friend is right to highlight the devastating effect of this policy and to highlight the incredible rounding-up exercise on the Treasury account books of the contribution that it will make to NHS expenditure. With the Labour party having a serious foothold in rural constituencies for the first time since 1945, does she not find this rather inept politics, which is perhaps not surprising from such a London-centric Front Bench? The policy shows a wilful ignorance of rural life and a deliberate attempt not to understand the pressures and is, in essence, selling those rural Labour MPs down the river.
