Aviation Industry Tax Concessions

EDM number 103 in 2003-04, proposed by David Kidney on 26/11/2003.

That this House calls for an end to the tax concessions received by the aviation industry through tax-free fuel and an exemption from VAT; believes that these tax concessions are regressive, bringing most benefit to higher income earners who account for 75 per cent. of trips on budget airlines; and calls on the Government to provide a breakdown of the social class of UK air passengers over the last three years.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
