Chancellor has ‘so far refused to engage’ farmers on IHT

As 300 tractors flooded Westminster today, joined by hundreds of farmers and members of the public, the MPs on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee discussed the impacts of agricultural property relief (APR) tax changes on the thousands of farming families worried about the future of their livelihoods.

The committee kicked off on the changes to APR, while business property relief (BPR) was also on the agenda for the morning meeting, which continued into the afternoon with representatives of the farming community.
