David Cameron’s father-in-law is among rich landowners cashing in on Labour’s green subsidies, with a wind farm generating an estimated \u00a33.5million a year on his country estate. <\/p>\n

Sir Reginald Sheffield, 63, who is worth at least \u00a320million, splits the profits with the project’s developers. <\/p>\n

Around half of the income comes from a government scheme to make power companies use more renewable energy, much of it bought from private generators. It is subsidised by every household, via their electricity bills. <\/p>\n

Sir Reginald’s eight 400ft turbines were switched on last August at Bagmoor, part of the 3,000-acre Normanby Hall estate near Scunthorpe that has been in his family since the 16th century. <\/p>\n

He plans a second development at nearby Flixborough Grange, despite fierce opposition from locals. <\/p>\n

Samantha Cameron, 38, is the elder of his two daughters by his first marriage to Annabel Jones, who later married former Tory minister Lord Astor. Her half-brother Robert, 24, helps run the family’s Normanby Estate Company.
