Proceeding contribution from Andrew Snowden (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 September 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [Lords].


Civil Aviation (Consumer Protection and Regulatory Reform) Bill [Lords]

My right hon. Friend rightly points out the tax increases that airports are facing combined with business rates and increased regulations. We are trying to build a business case for commercial flights from Blackpool airport again, and such things make it really hard for airports that are trying to reopen routes and start new ones. Does he agree that that should be looked at?
