Air Passenger Duty

Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 November 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Air Passenger Duty.

I commend my hon. Friend for introducing the debate. Is it not a question of making the UK competitive around the world? In the previous debate, the Minister said that if we cut taxes on one thing, it will mean either more spending cuts or increases in taxes elsewhere, but should not the message be, “Let’s cut air passenger duty and cut spending”? After last night’s vote, perhaps the Government could start with the EU.
