"Environment Secretary Steve Reed has defended the government's new inheritance tax on family farms, suggesting that only the wealthiest estates will face the tax burden and claiming that the backlash is based on misleading information. He emphasized a fair balance in supporting rural communities while improving public services."
"In responding to concerns, Steve Reed stated, 'I completely understand farmers' anxiety at any changes. But rural communities need a better NHS, affordable housing and public transport that we can provide if we make the right decisions.' His comments emphasize the government’s commitment to infrastructure improvement alongside tax policy."
