Welsh Conservatives said the family farm tax will be 'detrimental to the future of farming in Wales', warning that food security will be 'threatened and food prices will rise'

NFU deputy president David Exwood said it was ‘very clear that tenants will be impacted' by the Government's IHT proposals

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'

Steve Reed told ²ÝÁñÉçÇø Guardian he was not concerned about a farmers’ strike following the London protests

Secretary of State Steve Reed said: "Assuming these projections from HMRC validated by Office for Budget Responsibility [OBR] and Institute for Fiscal Studies [IFS] are correct, than many of them, probably happily are wrong"

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'

The reforms to Agricultural Property Relief will be used to 'invest in our schools and health services that farmers and families in rural communities rely on'

Mr Bradshaw is expected to say: "I do not think I have ever seen the industry this angry, this disillusioned and this upset. And given what we have had to be angry about in recent years that is saying something"

Defra Secretary Steve Reed said ‘the vast majority of farmers would not be affected at all by the changes', and urged farmers ‘not to believe every alarming claim or headline'
