Agriculture and Business: Inheritance Tax
Asked by: Aphra Brandreth (Conservative - Chester South and Eddisbury)
Monday 14th July 2025

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether her Department has made an assessment of the merits of implementing a clawback mechanism as an alternative to the proposed changes to Agricultural Property Relief and Business Property Relief.

Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)

I refer the Honourable Member to the answer given to UIN 32918.

Aviation: Crew
Asked by: Aphra Brandreth (Conservative - Chester South and Eddisbury)
Friday 11th July 2025

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of the Civil Aviation Authority's requirement that commercial pilots cease commercial air transport operations at the age of 65, regardless of (a) medical condition and (b) licence status, in the context of the State Pension age.

Answered by Mike Kane - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Pilot age limits ultimately derive from standards and recommended practices set by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), which sets age limits globally. Standards and recommended practices are kept under review and the CAA actively participates in these reviews.

Agriculture: Inheritance Tax
Asked by: Aphra Brandreth (Conservative - Chester South and Eddisbury)
Tuesday 15th July 2025

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent discussions her Department has had with representatives of the farming sector on the implications of the proposed changes to inheritance tax.

Answered by James Murray - Exchequer Secretary (HM Treasury)

The Government believes its reforms to agricultural property relief and business property relief from 6 April 2026 get the balance right between supporting farms and businesses, and fixing the public finances. The reforms reduce the inheritance tax advantages available to owners of agricultural and business assets, but still mean those assets will be taxed at a much lower effective rate than most other assets. Despite a tough fiscal context, the Government will maintain very significant levels of relief from inheritance tax beyond what is available to others and compared to the position before 1992. Where inheritance tax is due, those liable for a charge can pay any liability on the relevant assets over 10 annual instalments, interest-free.

Ministers from multiple Government departments have had several meetings with agricultural organisations on this matter since Autumn Budget 2024. As the Minister with responsibility for the UK tax system, I have had meetings with organisations including the National Farmers’ Union, the Tenant Farmers’ Association, the Country Land and Business Association, the Central Association of Agricultural Valuers, the Ulster Farmers’ Union, NFU Cymru, NFU Scotland and the Farmers’ Union of Wales.
