Budget Resolutions

Proceeding contribution from Henry Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2020. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions.

Does my right hon. Friend share my concern that there was nothing in the Budget to support our aviation industry? Indeed, air passenger duty was increased as a result of yesterday’s Budget. Many airlines face difficulty. A number have sadly gone out of business in recent weeks and other

household names may well go out of business as a result of covid-19. Will he put in a request for air passenger duty to be waived for six months? Otherwise we could see a number of British airline brands go under as a result. They are deeply suffering.
