Welsh Affairs Committee publishes report on devolution of air passenger to Wales

Key Points: 

Inquiry conclusions

  • Following an inquiry examining the advantages and disadvantages of devolution of Air Passenger Duty (APD) a tax levied by the UK Government on passenger flights from UK airports the Welsh Affairs Committee strongly recommends that APD be devolved to the Welsh Government by 2021.
  • The Committee also calls on the Welsh Government to carry out a full environmental impact assessment before decisions are made on any reduction of abolition of the tax.

Chair's comments


    Commenting on the report, Chair of the Committee David T.C. Davies MP said: “I’m not often persuaded by arguments for devolution, but the evidence my Committee heard about the benefits of devolving APD was absolutely convincing. The UK Government needs to recognise these opportunities for Wales and demonstrate its commitment to equity within the devolution system by setting out a plan for devolving APD to Wales by 2021.”

Air Passenger Duty

  • Air Passenger Duty (APD) is a tax levied by the Government on passenger flights from UK airports, which came into effect in 1994.
  • The Welsh Affairs Committees report weighs up the arguments for and against devolution of Air Passenger Duty, and draws on evidence taken from tax experts, airlines, airports, the Chairs of the Silk and Holtham Commissions and UK and Welsh government ministers.

Arguments for devolving APD

  • The Committee heard a range of arguments for devolving APD, most notably the fact that two respected independent commissions the Holtham and Silk Commissions have previously made recommendations to devolve APD to Wales.
  • My Committee found the arguments for devolution of APD to Wales compelling, and we urge the UK Government to hand over APD to the Welsh Government by 2021.

Arguments against devolving APD

  • The report also considers the balance of evidence against devolving APD, citing environmental and commercial concerns.
  • Several nearby English airports, such as Bristol Airport, are concerned that devolution of APD could have a detrimental effect on their business if the Welsh Government chooses to lower or abolish APD.
