The co-chairman of the Conservative Party visited a farm in Powys to discuss the impact of tax changes in the budget.

Nigel Huddleston MP, along with James Evans MS for Brecon and Radnorshire, travelled to the farm in Rhayader on November 9.

They were concerned about the proposed removal of inheritance tax relief on agricultural land.

Rob Lewis of Glan Elan Farm, who farms with his three sons, fears for the future of their farming operations due to the policy.

The average Welsh farm, approximately 118 acres, is valued at around £1 million, excluding livestock, machinery, and buildings.

James Evans MS said: "I am deeply concerned about the impact the chancellor’s changes to inheritance tax will have on farms.

"This is yet another broken promise from Labour and threatens our food security, risking jobs and livelihoods in the process.

"It is important to hear directly from farmers on just how damaging this Labour policy will be for them.

"For many, the land has been in their family for generations, they are the custodians of our land, and all they want is to be able to pass it on to the next generation.

"They have diversified, as most farmers have had to do to make a living, and it is not only inheritance tax changes that will hurt them but also the changes to business rate relief.

"We need to fight these damaging decisions being taken in Westminster and in Cardiff Bay."
