Air Passenger Duty

Proceeding contribution from Sarah Teather (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 November 2012. It occurred during Backbench debate on Air Passenger Duty.

I hope that the Minister recognises that his words are extremely disappointing to many of my constituents who travel regularly to the Caribbean—[Interruption.] I have been watching the debate on television. Those constituents will be very concerned about the Minister’s words. Will he reconsider the issue and look at a more granulated banding system that would ensure that those from the Caribbean were not particularly disadvantaged? I recognise his point about asking others to pay more, but the situation is surely unfair for those who are travelling not very far—not as far as to the US.
