MAKING FAIR CHOICES OF TRAVEL MODE TO IRELAND

Early day motion 929, tabled 29 March 2004 by Robert Wareing (Labour). Signed by 31 members.

That this House notes the significance of the ferry industry to many of the UK's ports; acknowledges the thousands of British jobs it supports and the importance of consumers having fair and clear travel choices, calls on airlines to ensure that all prices in print and website advertising are inclusive of taxes to avoid consumer confusion; calls on advertising regulators to ensure that airline advertisements conform to existing regulations to ensure a level playing field between airlines and other travels options; and calls on consumers and the travel industry to remember that ferries frequently offer a more convenient and pleasurable method of travel to Ireland.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, Liberal Democrat 3, Conservative 2, Plaid Cymru 1.
