To achieve this, in 2014 we introduced the Family Test, which aims to ensure that impacts on family relationships and functioning are recognised early on during the process of policy development and help inform the policy decisions made by Minsters. There is no requirement for departments to publish the results of assessments made under the Family Test.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 14/09/2018 13:34:08 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2018 answer text <p>Flights between regions of the UK are subject to the short haul rate of Air Passenger Duty. Under State aid rules, it is not possible to vary tax rates for domestic flights only.</p><p> </p><p>The government has made a number of reforms to reduce the effect of APD on consumers, including exempting children on economy flights. This could save a family of four £52 on a roundtrip within the UK.</p><p> </p><p>Like all taxes, Air Passenger Duty remains under review. In June we closed a call for evidence on ‘VAT, Air Passenger Duty and tourism in Northern Ireland’. It is the government’s intention to report at Budget.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 14/09/2018 13:35:00 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
