Proceeding contribution from Lord Empey (Ulster Unionist Party) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 17 March 2015. It occurred during Debate on bill on Corporation Tax (Northern Ireland) Bill.


Corporation Tax (Northern Ireland) Bill

The air passenger duty issue was designed to enable the link between Belfast International Airport and New York to survive. It has been applied only to that route because it is the only direct route from Northern Ireland to the United States. No attempt has been made to alter domestic air passenger duty.
