Kemi Badenoch has vowed to scrap inheritance tax on family homes and raise the threshold for death duties to £500,000 if the Tories win the next election.
The Tory leader said that election will be a “battle for the soul of the nation”, as she promised her party would focus on letting people “keep more of what they earn” if it returned to power.
In a speech to the Conservative annual conference in Birmingham, she accused Andy Burnham’s Labour of being “addicted to welfare” and treating income and savings as “theirs to take and hand out”.
She said: “The Labour Party think it is selfish to pass on what you have earned to your children. We don’t.”
Party officials said the move would be funded by measures including the reintroduction of the two-child benefit cap and cuts to out-of-work welfare payments and universal credit.
