Air Passenger Duty and Developing Economies

Lord Taylor of Holbeach Excerpts

Wednesday 18th May 2011 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Benjamin]

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the impact of air passenger duty banding on the Caribbean and other developing economies.

[Lord Taylor of Holbeach]

My Lords, it may be for the convenience of the House if I remind noble Lords that, for the dinner-hour debate, speeches are limited to four minutes. It is a time-limited debate and I hope noble Lords will respect that so that everybody can have a say. When the Clock says that four minutes are up, you are into the fifth minute.
