Sara Bool, MP for South Northamptonshire speaking at PMQs
The Prime Minister was questioned whether he would reverse Inheritance Tax to show support for farmers during Back British Farming Day.
Launched back in 2015, Back British Farming Day provides an opportunity for politicians and the public to show their support for our farmers and growers, and the work they do 365 days a year to feed the nation and care for our iconic countryside.

During Prime Minister's Questions (PMQs), Sara Bool MP for South Northamptonshire said: "Today is the tenth annual Back British Farming Day.
"And given the Prime Minister is so keen on resets in recent weeks, will he reset his relationship with our farmers and reverse the family farm tax?"
The Prime Minister replied: "Well, Mr Speaker, let me tell you what we are doing.
"We are working with the former president of the NFU, Baroness Minette Batters, to review farm profitability.
"This is the key issue. We are delivering the 25-year farming roadmap and of course, we struck a deal with the EU which is a great benefit to farmers which of course they all say they will reverse.
"That is on top of the £5 billion that we put into farming in our last budget."

However, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer did not wear the decoration, along with Chancellor Rachel Reeves and conservative leader Kemi Badenoch.
Mr Starmer has worn the badge on his lapel in previous years.
