Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the effect on aviation in Northern Ireland of the abolition of Air Passenger Duty in the Republic of Ireland.
The government recognises that Northern Ireland faces unique challenges due to its geography. In order to better understand these challenges, the government ran a call for evidence on ‘VAT, Air Passenger Duty and tourism in Northern Ireland’ which closed in June. It is the government’s intention to report at Budget.
