Budget: Implications for Farming Communities

Alison Bennett Excerpts

Monday 4th November 2024 Commons Chamber

[Daniel Zeichner]

I think it is time for people to take up the opportunities of the schemes that the previous Government introduced and that we are continuing, which allow them to farm in an environmentally and nature-friendly way. It will be good for the future and will produce food for this country. There is a very bright future for British farming.

[Alison Bennett (Mid Sussex) (LD)]

Given the varied estimates of how many farms will be impacted by these changes to agricultural property relief, will the Minister confirm how many farms he thinks will be impacted?

[Daniel Zeichner]

I refer the hon. Lady to my earlier answer. The figures are in the Treasury papers for all to see.
