Description: In today's Farming in Five, Chief Reporter Rachael Brown reports on reaction to the Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer's comments that the purpose of the inheritance tax reform was to raise revenue in the Budget. Shortly after making these comments, his Farming Minister Daniel Zeichner said on a webinar hosted by the Tenant Farmers Association that far too many farmers are dependent on Government support schemes, and the new environmental schemes are about using public money for public goods, not about farming support – 'that comes alongside it.' Elsewhere, fairness in the supply chain will be the focus of a new inquiry by the Efra Committee. MPs will examine a range of key issues affecting the sector, including the levels of support for domestic food production, access to affordable and healthy food, labour shortages in the supply chain, and food prices.
