MP Anna Sabine has called for an axe to be taken to Labour's family farm tax following a committee report.

The Frome and East Somerset MP, inset, was responding to a new cross-party report from the House of Commons Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (EFRA) Committee, which urged the Government to not only delay controversial changes to family farm inheritance tax, but also consider alternative schemes that will not harm family farming businesses.
