Carwyn Jones today has been in Downing Street at the Joint Ministerial Committee to discuss whether the Welsh and Scottish governments will agree to the EU Withdrawal Bill going through Westminster. As well he also used the chance to state the case for devolving Air Passenger Duty to Wales.

Theresa May said that it has to be ratified by all the devolved administrations. Also there is an argument about the powers that are coming back from the EU that are in areas already devolved. In the end it's a constitutional thing as both the Welsh and Scottish governments have bills going through to claim the powers but the UK government wants the powers to go to Westminster first and then get doled out which both devolved administrations are calling a power grab. If they can't agree a deal then i wouldn't be surprised if it ended up in the Supreme Court.I didn't know that the devolved governments could block Brexit. It's a matter for the Westminster parliament isn't it?
No, but it could be a little sweetener for the Welsh Government to recommend that the Senedd pass it.I suspect that APD devolution, although close to the FM's heart because he wants an international airport of which the country can be proud, is not one of the major matters on which agreement would stand or fall.
Well i'm sure Nicola Sturgeon would say that the Scottish people didn't vote for it and that Carwyn Jones would say that the Welsh people didn't vote to make themselves poorer and that his job is to protect Wales.Would the devolved governments go against the wishes of the British people who voted to leave the EU?
No it hasn't but that may be because the focus of the marketing team is taken up with Qatar Airways this year.Iberia Express doesn’t seem to have a lot of advertising coverage this year, or is that just me?
Nope it isn't and 202 of those flights will be under the Flybe banner which is a good presence.402 flights per week is nothing to be snarled at.
I'd have thought if they were going to do something they would've done by now. I did read that after they expressed interest their share price dropped so maybe that has put them off?Interesting comment on the Cardiff Airport FB page stating stobart have until 5pm tomorrow to launch a takeover bid for flybe, why tomorrow?
All I can think of it's been a month since they showed initial interest?
Apparently Stobart and Flybe couldn't reach an agreement so Stobart have withdrawn their intention to bid for Flybe.Interesting comment on the Cardiff Airport FB page stating stobart have until 5pm tomorrow to launch a takeover bid for flybe, why tomorrow?
