FARE INCREASES AT SMALL AIRPORTS

Early day motion 833, tabled 16 March 2004 by Alan Reid (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 37 members.

That this House notes with concern the fare increases faced by passengers at small airports in the Highlands and Islands on 1st April, which have been brought about by increased security charges; and calls on the Government to complete and to implement as quickly as possible its promised review of a security regime tailored for smaller and lighter aircraft and the airports from which they operate.
