The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will retain EU law as it applies in the UK on exit day. We expect between 800 and 1000 statutory instruments will be required across Government to correct this retained EU law to ensure the statute book functions appropriately outside the EU. All Departments are engaged in this process.
As we leave the EU, the Government’s EU exit legislative programme is designed to cater for the full range of negotiated and non-negotiated outcomes. Once we leave the EU, we will make our own laws.

HMRC does not collect information on the contribution to APD revenues made from flights to or from specific airports.
HMRC published a report in October 2012 modelling the effects of price differentials at UK airports, including the effect of a price change at Scottish airports equivalent to the full value of air passenger duty. Figure 2 of the report gives a reading of the possible passenger response at Manchester airport.
A cross-party process reached the recommendation that Air Passenger Duty should be devolved to the Scottish Government. HMRC analysis of the potential effects on UK airports of price changes at Scottish airports aided the discussions behind this process. The analysis can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/modelling-the-effects-of-price-differentials-at-uk-airports
The Chancellor announced on 27 February that the Government will review potential options to support regional airports affected by devolution. As part of the review, the Government plans to publish a discussion paper by the summer examining the devolution and variation of APD rates within England, and the provision of aid for regional airports.

The introduction on new regulation by the Treasury is monitored through the six monthly Statement of New Regulation, when the regulation is in scope of One In Two Out. Since January 2013 the Statement of New Regulation has also included regulation which originates in the EU. Information on costs is recorded in Impact Assessments where there is a significant impact on business.
New regulation with an impact on business is subject to a review clause, and a review of this regulation will be required by a date specified in each piece of legislation.
The Treasury responds to any requests for regulation to be revoked on amended on a case by case basis.
A table which provides a list of all Treasury regulation introduced since May 2010, whether it was subject to the One-in, One-out or One-in, Two-out rules will be placed in the Library of the House. Web links are provided to pages which explain what legislation the regulation amends or revokes and what the cost and benefits of the regulation is. It should be noted that the One-in, One-out rule began operating in January 2011, and was replaced by the One-in, Two-out rule in January 2013.
