Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Browne (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.
I acknowledge that long-haul flights cause more emissions than short-haul flights. My point was that short-haul flights cause more emissions per mile, and that is why we need to try to create alternatives to short-haul flights. I recognise, however, that a system in which the tax is greater for long-haul flights is reasonable because, overall, they cause greater emissions than short-haul flights.
