The Liberal MP for Edinburgh West has called for the Government to tax the holiday aspirations of ordinary members of the public in Edinburgh West. He is also calling for an increase in the cost of imports not to mention threatening the jobs of many people in this constituency.
At a time of economic downturn, when people are rightly concerned about their jobs, we do not need additional costs being loaded on to peoples shopping bills. Likewise when money is tight, and holidays are being put under stress, these proposals will simply price out of the market many people who would otherwise go on holiday to the likes of Spain.
By all means encourage more efficient use of resources, but to increase the scope of taxes when we are already too highly taxed is not the answer.
