HC Deb 21 June 1999 vol 333 c312W
Mr. Blunt

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will estimate the tax yield resulting from imposing duty on aviation fuel at the same rate as on motor vehicle fuel, assuming a similar rate of tax is imposed by other countries. [86698]

Mrs. Roche

Imposing duty on aviation fuel at the same rate as unleaded petrol would raise approximately £5 billion, assuming no alteration in demand.
