Early day motion · EDM 863 · 27 Feb 2025

Cumbria farmers

Tabled by Tim Farron (Liberal Democrat) 7 signatures

The motion

That this House recognises the pivotal role that farmers play in producing the food on our plates and caring for the environment; expresses strong concern over the Government’s changes to inheritance tax rules for farmers and the impact this will have in particular on small family farmers in our rural communities; and strongly supports Newsquest Cumbria’s Back Our Farmers Campaign in The Cumberland News and The Westmorland Gazette which calls for the Chancellor to think again.
