Lords ChamberI hear very clearly what the noble Lord has said. As I said to the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Prentis, I will make sure that the new Chancellor understands the strength of feeling in this House about the inheritance tax.
My Lords, I am very pleased to hear the Minister talk about the whole burden on rural dwellers and farmers. In that regard, can she say how her department is looking to minimise the burden on farmers, not just the tax burden but the regulatory burden, and in particular for those farmers in Northern Ireland, given the differential regulations that occur there?
