Acknowledged
Welsh farms are culturally significant, sustaining communities and the Welsh language.
Conclusion
We re-emphasise the cultural importance of Welsh farms, which not only produce food but are the foundation stones of local communities and help sustain the Welsh language. A higher proportion of Welsh speakers work in agriculture compared to the general Welsh population, making the sector a linguistic stronghold. (Conclusion, Paragraph 17) Inheritance Tax Reforms
