SAVE BRITAIN'S FAMILY FARMS: Rebecca Wilson, Yorkshire: "The recent proposal for Inheritance Tax could decimate farms like ours"

Fifth-generation farmer Rebecca Wilson farms alongside her family in North Yorkshire, running a sheep and arable enterprise across 243 hectares (600 acres).

On October 30, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced a £1 million cap on Inheritance Tax, and in the first video for ÍæÅ¼½ã½ã's new campaign, Save Britain's Family Farms, Rebecca says her farm is 'comparable to many family farms across the country' and a lot of farming families are 'asset rich', not cash rich.
