Sir Edward to PM: Save Our Family Farms!

Sir Edward Leigh

PMQs is the highlight of the parliamentary week and this week I was drawn in the ballot for one.

I constructively challenged the Prime Minister to keep an open mind about the thresholds for Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief.

Experts from the NFU have shown that smaller family farms will be impacted by these rate changes.

I asked the PM to listen to the evidence and raise the thresholds to help our farming sector.

I also raised this earlier this week on Monday, which you can watch here: https://x.com/EdwardLeighGB/status/1853791685303562745
