Petition

Support future food security by reversing decision on farmers inheritance tax

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Reverse the decision on inheritance tax for farmers to allow investment and stability in British food supply chain.
I am deeply concerned that the inheritance tax on farms undermines national security. The volatility with current wars, means the UK has to be self sufficient for food.

For the record I am not a farmer, I just can see implications of the decision.
