AVIATION INDUSTRY TAX CONCESSIONS

Early day motion 103, tabled 26 November 2003 by David Kidney (Labour). Signed by 26 members.

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.

Signatures by party: Labour 18, Labour/Co-operative 3, Liberal Democrat 3, Plaid Cymru 2.
