“As a fellow Cambridgeshire MP, what message will the minister give to farmers, gravely impacted by their “Family Farms Tax”, that will lead to farmland being sold and potentially see more of our best and most versatile land used for vast solar farms? How does the slashing of Agricultural Property Relief help farmers in Cambridgeshire?”
Following today’s Urgent Question on the impact of the Budget on the farming industry I had the opportunity to ask the Farming Minister, as a Cambridgeshire MP, what his message was for our local farmers across the county.
As with every response, from every Labour Minister, all I got was a well-rehearsed soundbite, not an answer.
