The Minister said that this reversal of plans to introduce inheritance tax on many farming families has happened
“after listening carefully to feedback from the farming community”.
This news just before Christmas was indeed a massive relief, but given that the farming community did not say anything in December that it had not been saying for the previous 13 months, will the Government listen properly in future?
Dan Tomlinson
Yes, the Government will make sure that we do continue to listen.
