Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether he has considered introducing additional taxation on commercial vehicle parking facilities.

The Government understands concerns about the impact of airport drop-off charges and will therefore be taking forward a review into drop off charges. This will be completed within 12 months of Royal Assent of the Civil Aviation Bill. This will allow sufficient time to consider the range of issues raised by passengers and Parliamentarians, including transparency, charging practices, affordability and available alternatives.

The Government keeps all taxes under review and the Chancellor makes decisions on tax policy at fiscal events in the context of the public finances.
