Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether flights made by (a) the Prime Minister and (b) other Ministers in the Royal Air Force's No. 32 Squadron are subject to Air Passenger Duty.

Air Passenger Duty (APD) is payable for travel undertaken on aircraft that are on the civilian register – it is not payable for aircraft on the military register.

It is therefore payable for all ministerial travel undertaken on the RAF Envoy as that is currently on the civilian register.
