Baroness Jones of Moulsecoomb (GP)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 11 November 2025

Debate

Airport Expansion

Contribution

My Lords, the aviation industry will never be environmentally sustainable, and this Government really ought to understand that. At the moment, the 15% of people who take 70% of the flights are protected from paying fuel duty, whereas train travellers are not, and potentially EV drivers as well. Therefore, why not tax frequent flyers, make train fares cheaper and leave EV drivers alone?
