Mr Mark Prisk (Hertford and Stortford, Conservative)
Will the Economic Secretary enlighten the Committee as to what has driven that process? In relation to cross-border shopping, tax revenue loss has increased from £60 million in 1997 to £100,410 million. That is a huge change. Is he going to argue that that is simply a consequence of cheap flights? What analysis have the Government carried out on the subject?
