Henry Tufnell, who represents Mid and South Pembrokeshire, became the third Labour MP to publicly speak out against the controversial policy.
He told The Times: “We had said categorically as a party that there wouldn’t be any movement on inheritance tax.
“I stood on the platform where I said directly to farmers in my constituency that it was something that we weren’t going to pursue as a party.

He added that he was "not alone" in opposing the change, which is due to come into force in April 2026.
Mr Tufnell, whose parents own a 2,200-acre Gloucestershire estate, called for the ￡1million threshold to be raised but did not specify a figure. He also called for an “amnesty” for older and sick farmers.
He said: “It’s still ridiculous that people like Jeremy Clarkson, James Dyson can buy up agricultural land, overinflate this asset class and avoid tax.
“We need just a small modification. It’s not a U-turn. It’s just a tweak of the policy, having listened and consulted with the industry.”
Mr Tufnell also warned that Labour could be hit in the polls in its rural seats unless it makes changes to the proposals.

Mr Tufnell joins Montgomeryshire and Glynd？r MP Steve Witherden and Penrith and Solway MP Markus Campbell-Savours in speaking out.
It comes as farmers are due to stage another protest in central London on Tuesday against the plans.
