Rejected petition: Support future food security by reversing decision on farmers inheritance tax

Rejected on

Reverse the decision on inheritance tax for farmers to allow investment and stability in British food supply chain.

I am deeply concerned that the inheritance tax on farms undermines national security. The volatility with current wars, means the UK has to be self sufficient for food.

For the record I am not a farmer, I just can see implications of the decision.
