Business owners in Dereham display mixed reaction to Budget

Tax rises of £40bn were revealed in Rachel Reeves' first Budget as chancellor, alongside a promise of £22bn for the NHS.

But what do people from different business sectors in Dereham, Norfolk, think about the changes? The BBC joined them in a pub to watch the Budget be delivered.Farmer Nick Anema said changes to inheritance tax relief would "concern a lot of farmers" “I think the changes to agricultural property relief will concern a lot of farmers. A million pounds does sound like a lot of money, but it’s only 100 acres,” said Mr Anema.

“I was really expecting an injustice to working class people in the Budget, but I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised,” she said.Andrew Turner/BBCMarvin Shalders has a few different business interests – property development, a metal recycling company and running the pub The Cock in Dereham, where he was watching the Budget with the others.
