Speech in Westminster Hall - Wed 29 Jan 2020
Special Educational Needs and Disability Funding

"Yes; that sounds like a sensible suggestion, although I have not come across that problem myself. Most of the facilities the children are sent to are amazing: we do not have equivalent facilities in West Sussex. Many of them are private, which is why they are so expensive.

Written Question
Aviation: Fuels
Monday 28th October 2019

Asked by: Gillian Keegan (Conservative - Chichester)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent assessment he has made of the merits of introducing (a) fuel duty or (b) VAT on aviation fuel.

Answered by Simon Clarke

In line with international conventions to which the UK is party, the government does not tax commercial aviation fuel.

The government taxes airlines through Air Passenger Duty to ensure the aviation industry contributes to the cost of public services.

Asked by: Gillian Keegan (Conservative - Chichester)

Finance (No. 2) Bill

"I rise to speak to new clause 7. There has been a failure of successive Governments to tackle the issues with our housing stock. Since the 1970s we have, on average, built 160,000 new homes a year in England, and the consensus is that we need to build between 225,000 …..."
