Richard recently signed a joint letter to the Prime Minister about abolish the family farm tax and family business tax in the Budget later this month.
Richard Fuller MP commented:
The farming sector is facing a once in a generation crisis because of Labour’s damaging Family Farm Tax.
More than 6,000 agricultural businesses across the country have ceased trading and one in four have reduced their workforces since these cruel inheritance tax changes were announced. If the Prime Minister doesn’t change course, the consequences will be catastrophic.
Farmers used to invest billions into growing the wider rural economy, including here in North Bedfordshire, but because of Labour’s anti-farming policies investment is falling as farmers look with fear and uncertainty to the future.
Andy Burnham should grow a backbone and use his first budget to fully reverse the farming inheritance changes before it’s too late.
This is the latest stage in the Conservatives’ campaign to axe the Family Farm and Business Taxes and follows seven votes in Parliament forced by the Conservatives, a petition signed by over 300,000 people and Conservatives supporting farmers on their demonstrations in Westminster and across the country.
