§ Mr. McCrindleasked the Secretary of State for Trade whether, in view of the economic state of the airline industry, he is yet in a position to confirm that the aviation security levy will remain at £1.50 as from April 1982.
§ Mr. EyreDraft regulations to reduce the aviation security levy from its present rate of £1.60 to £1.50 from 1 August 1981 are currently before Parliament. I will consider in November, in the light of revised estimates, whether there is a need for a further change in the levy from 1 April 1982.
