Allow defined contributions that existed prior to the Labour 2024 budget to be free of Inheritance tax rules due to come into effect April 2027. It is unfair to apply IHT retrospectively.

It is unfair to apply this tax retrospectively.
Those who have defined contributions up to the Labour 2024 budget should be exempt.
