Uh huh. So a Government that pretty much everyone and their dog admits has a huge hole in their budget and can't fund everything with oil money will remove air passenger duty so they get even less money?
Plus how many passengers from England would save money by having to travel to and from Scotland to get a flight? A few in the north but that's it, unless Mr Walsh seriously thinks they will get on a plane, pay APD, fly to Glasgow or Edinburgh and get on another flight so they don't pay APD.
