Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 July 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
The roots of our inability to tax fuel probably stretch back as far as the inter-war Chicago convention—in the early '30s, I believe. We need to make more progress on taxing fuel, as the aviation industry is especially lightly taxed—so much so that Al Capone would be proud to be associated with it. Something has to be done about the problem. The amendment may not be perfect; it may be a proxy for a fuel tax, as my hon. Friend says.
