Air Passenger Duty

EDM number 174 in 2012-13, proposed by Graham Stringer on 12/06/2012.
Categorised under the topics of Aviation and Taxation.

That this House believes that the UK's air passenger duty, the highest air passenger tax in the world, is acting as a deterrent to both inward investment and inbound tourism; is concerned about its financial impact on ordinary families and their ability to fly; notes the impact on businesses wishing to export to emerging markets; and calls on HM Treasury to commission a comprehensive study into the full economic effects of aviation tax in the UK, including its impact on employment, reporting in advance of the 2013 Budget.

This motion has been signed by a total of 107 MPs.
