Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will respond to EDM 572, Frequent Flyer Levy campaign.
The Government believes that Air Passenger Duty fulfils effectively the same function as a Frequent Flier Levy as the nature of the tax is that those who fly more and further pay more than those who do not. For example, a business passenger who makes a long-haul journey four times a year pays £571 more in tax than an economy passenger who flies only once to a short-haul destination.
