answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>Air Passenger Duty (APD) applies to all departures from UK airports, therefore airlines are liable on both outward and return leg domestic journeys. It is not possible under current EU law to have different rates of APD on intra-UK flights than on flights from the UK to other European Union destinations. All aspects of APD remain under review, and the government will continue to receive legal advice as appropriate during policy development.</p> answering member constituency Newark answering member printed Robert Jenrick grouped question UIN 238585 238586 question first answered 08/04/2019 14:08:52 answering member 4320 label Biography information for Robert Jenrick

We have also agreed that there is a relationship between the UK’s commitments and checks and controls required between the UK and EU, which may lead to a spectrum of outcomes, but that both the UK and EU wish to be as ambitious as possible in establishing a future partnership. Both the UK and EU are clear that whatever is agreed in the future partnership must recognise the development of an independent UK trade policy beyond our economic partnership with the EU.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 19/02/2019 13:21:52 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/02/2019 answer text <p>The Political Declaration outlines the EU and the UK’s commitment to ambitious arrangements for services and investment that go well beyond WTO commitments, and build on recent EU Free Trade Agreements, alongside new arrangements on financial services.</p><p>On 28 November the Government published long-term economic analysis of the relative impacts of different trading relationships in the long term, after the UK’s new relationship with the EU comes into effect. The analysis does not provide a sector-level breakdown of trade volumes impacts. The analysis estimates that, in the long run, UK exports are broadly unchanged in a modelled White Paper scenario compared to today’s arrangements. This equates to 12 percentage points higher than what would be expected in the modelled no deal scenario.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris question first answered 21/02/2019 13:38:24 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris

However, the Government has been clear on the areas where future spending may be incurred, should the UK and the EU agree. The Political Declaration, published on 25 November, sets out that the UK and EU will “make a fair and appropriate financial contribution” in return for <em>“participation in Union programmes… in areas such as science and innovation, youth, culture and education, overseas development and external action, defence capabilities, civil protection and space</em>.”</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/760484/28_November_EU_Exit_-_Long-term_economic_analysis__1_.pdf" target="_blank">https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/760484/28_November_EU_Exit_-_Long-term_economic_analysis__1_.pdf</a></p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 20/02/2019 15:40:35 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
