After the publication of the fact that in England half of the land belongs to less than 1% of the population, Labor deputies and activists called for a new tax on the value of land.

The results, presented in the new book “Who Owns England?”, Show that about 25,000 landowners control half of the country's land. Guy Shrubsol, the author of the book, said ownership was "strikingly unequal, largely concentrated in the hands of a tiny elite."

The largest landowners in England are the Queen, British inventor, industrial design engineer, founder and CEO of Dyson Ltd. James Dyson, Duke of Buckleich, and the numerous owners of the grouse estates.

These statistics were not forgotten to use by deputies from the Labor Party and supporters of the "greens", who called for the introduction of a tax on the value of land, which is paid by landowners for renting their land.

However, the National Farmers Union (NFU) immediately warned that the introduction of any new land tax on agricultural land "will simply increase the cost of food production in the UK without the benefit of buyers."
