Shapps hints foreign flight costs could rise to cut levy on UK trips James Tapsfield, Political Editor For Mailonline © Provided by Daily Mail MailOnline logo Grant Shapps today hailed plans to cut Air Passenger Duty for domestic flights - but hinted that foreign travel costs might have to rise as a result. The Transport Secretary said the current system where return journeys within the UK could face a higher levy than trips abroad was bizarre . In a round of broadcast interviews, he insisted the proposed overhaul would make sure people were not penalised when traveling within the UK.

Boris Johnson slammed over his fantasy Northern Ireland bridge plan

Boris Johnson s plan to build a bridge or a tunnel connecting Northern Ireland and Scotland has been slammed by critics as a fantasy . The Prime Minister has launched an official review to look at how to improve Union transport connectivity, with a fixed Irish Sea link the headline proposal. The PM has allocated £20million to develop plans for upgraded rail, road, sea and air links across the UK. But his political opponents have suggested that pursuing the vanity project bridge or tunnel is a waste of money and that the cash should be spent on improving existing creaking infrastructure. The proposed link between Northern Ireland and Scotland is the latest in a long line of major infrastructure projects that Mr Johnson has attached his name to.
