Air Passenger Duty

As an amendment to motion S4M-04874 in the name of Keith Brown (Air Passenger Duty), leave out from “the recent report” to end and insert “that greenhouse gas emissions from the aviation sector in Scotland have risen relentlessly and were 118% higher in 2009 than in 1990; considers that continual aviation growth is incompatible with the climate change targets that were agreed unanimously by the Parliament in 2008 and reaffirmed unanimously in 2012, and supports the use of financial measures such as air passenger duty, alongside other approaches, to restrain the growth of aviation emissions within limits that do not threaten the goal of a low-carbon Scotland.”
