Don't change inheritance tax relief for working farms - 147,147 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 153,700 - 64 added in the past 24hrs)

We think that changing inheritance tax relief for agricultural land will devastate farms nationwide, forcing families to sell land and assets just to stay on their property. We urge the government to keep the current exemptions for working farms.

The Government’s commitment to farmers is steadfast. There is also an urgent need to repair the public finances in as fair a way as possible. The reform of the reliefs strikes the right balance.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 95,485 - 376 added in the past 24hrs)

The Government has no plans to ban driven grouse shooting. It recognises well-managed grouse shooting can be an important part of a local rural economy, providing direct and indirect employment.
