Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Civil Aviation Bill.
Civil Aviation Bill
My hon. Friend talks about freedom. Does he accept that one of the characteristics to which he refers in saying that aviation has an odd structure is that it is a tax-free zone of the sort that Al Capone would envy and admire and that something needs to happen in relation to that? That certainly cannot be done in a single country or possibly even a single continent, but much more progress needs to be made before the polluter genuinely does pay and the industry, which contributes about 1 per cent. of our GDP, meets its environmental downside costs.
