Rural Businesses: Taxation
My Lords, the family farm tax is both hated and feared. It taxes a business asset as if it is personal wealth. I know that the Minister was not consulted—nor was her department—before the tax was put in place. Will she reassure the House, which I know ap

It is nice to be back. I remember just enough of the rules to know that I should declare my interest as a trustee of the Countryside Alliance. I remember only too well how hard it is to bid for legislative time, particularly in Defra, and I am concerned

Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill
My Lords, I apologise for giving you three very personal examples. When I was in my late twenties, we had a baby son who died, and I almost died giving birth to him. For a few short hours, while our lives held in the balance, it looked as if choices wou
