Air Passenger Duty

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

Although the Exchequer may be raising between 2 billion and £3 billion from air passenger duty, it may be losing an equivalent amount, if not more, as a result of the reduction in trade and improved economics. Is it not for that reason that we should demand a forward view of the economic impact?
