DR Ann Myatt, the Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Westmorland & Lonsdale, has welcomed the Prime Minister’s statement about raising inheritance tax threshold to £1 million.
“I am delighted that the Prime Minister is looking at re-instating this pledge,” she said.
“Many hard working people in the South Lakes, who have invested in their homes, will be caught out by the current threshold.”
