Air Passenger Duty

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

I completely agree with my hon. Friend. That is part of the challenge of our wider aviation policy and strategy.

Already in this Parliament, the Government have rightly recognised a number of counter-productive and damaging taxes, and scrapped a number of them, including the cider tax, the jobs tax and the broadband phone tax, and the planned increase to the small profits rate was replaced with a cut. On that basis, I urge the Minister to consider the economic impact of APD.
