In an online video to NFU members, Mr Bradshaw said the PM was 'very much in listening mode' and hoped he was going to act on what he had heard around the 'very real human impacts' of IHT changes

Secretary of State Steve Reed said some landowners and farms will pay more inheritance tax as a result of the changes, but he said the Government wanted to 'support family farms'

Secretary of State Steve Reed said the roadmap would be focused on making farming and food production 'more profitable in the decades to come', and farmers will tell Government what they need to make a 'success of this vital transition'

Tenant Farmers Association said they had asked the Treasury if it knew how many APR/BPR claims were made from landlords with multiple tenancies, and was told it could not provide the data

NFU president Tom Bradshaw said the situation around Inheritance Tax changes will be only be resolved by sitting down with the Chancellor Rachel Reeves ‘but at the moment she is refusing to meet with us'

"There will be a need for a rapid and concerted effort from the leaders in the rural and farming sectors to hold the Government to account on ensuring that the gulf between urban and rural support does not become even wider"

Jeremy Moody, secretary and advisor to Central Association of Agricultural Valuers said the Government's claim that only quarter of farms will be impacted by Inheritance Tax changes ‘misses half of the picture and so understates the effects of the change'

The event is separate to the NFU's lobby being held on the same day, but organisers stressed the events were 'complimentary' and not in competition with one another

The mass lobby on November 19 is now at full capacity. Farmers who have not already registered for the event are warned not to travel down to London and told there will be another opportunity to make their voices heard
