Scotland's Future, Scrap the Cut to the Air Departure Tax

As an amendment to motion S5M-17190 in the name of Colin Smyth (Scotland's Future, Scrap the Cut to the Air Departure Tax), leave out from "calls" to end and insert "notes the benefits of a competitive Air Departure Tax (ADT) regime; recognises that a reduction in this taxation for long-haul flights is essential for the retention and development of new intercontinental routes and economic ties across the world with a view to boost trade, tourism and inward investment into Scotland; understands that the devolution of ADT is a critical economic lever to achieve this, and calls on the Scottish Government to honour the commitment made in the manifesto it stood on in 2016 and introduce a reduction in Scotland's current ADT regime."
