Yep no doubt they got a nice day out from it and a good photo op from it!The committee has already taken a lot of written and oral evidence from those having an interest, including the WG and the CWL management, and from nominally independent 'experts', so it's difficult to imagine what further evidence they could hope to find during today's visit. The committee is hardly likely expect the WG or the CWL management to tell them why APD should not be devolved so who did they speak to today to be appraised of potential negative side effects of devolution?
Then again, most MPs love a good jolly at tax payers' expense. No doubt a good lunch was provided.
I suppose as well it got to give them a chance to speak to people on the ground at Cardiff Airport which would be the immediate beneficiary of devolution.
'weigh up against the potential for negative side effects for North Wales' i find that bit interesting. As considering North Wales only has an airport that operates internal flights, so what negatives could there be? It also makes out that the north of Wales is like a separate entity and not part of the rest of Wales and that there won't be any benefit for greater international connectivity to Wales as a whole just to the one part.
