The programme for Government contains a firm commitment to end discrimination against small farming families and small businesses. I understand that changes to the fair deal scheme were approved in July in the context of a three-year cap on farming and business assets. Where does this matter stand? Farming families in my constituency are really struggling, as are families involved in small businesses, to pay nursing home costs. When will the proposed changes come into effect? They need to do so as a matter of urgency.
