Inquiry into international connectivity through Welsh ports and airports
Inquiry into international connectivity through Welsh ports and airports
The Enterprise and Business Committee
undertook an inquiry into international connectivity through Welsh ports and
airports. The terms of reference for the inquiry were:
- how important are major Welsh ports and airports,
both to the economy of their own regions and to Wales as a whole?
- what factors limit realisation of the potential
offered by major Welsh ports and airports; what opportunities are
available to develop this potential; and how can these be realised?
- how effectively do Welsh Government policies support
the development of major Welsh ports and airports?
Key issues
The Committee considered the
following issues as part of the inquiry:
- what role do the Welsh Government and local
authorities play in facilitating the development of Welsh ports and
airports?
- what factors have contributed to the decline in
business through Cardiff Airport?
- how effectively does Welsh Government policy,
primarily in the areas of transport, economic development, and land use
planning policy, support the development of Welsh ports and airports?
- how can the Welsh Government develop economic
opportunities, for example from tourism, international trade, freight and,
in the case of ports, opportunities including the energy and renewable
energy industries? What role do ports and airports, particularly Cardiff
Airport, play in the key sectors identified by the Welsh Government?
- how effective is Welsh transport infrastructure and
interconnectivity in supporting the development of Welsh ports and
airports?
- given that ports and airports policy is a reserved
matter, how effectively does the Welsh Government engage with the UK
Government in the interests of Wales?
- what impact do EU State Aid regulations have on the
ability of the Welsh Government to provide support, and what opportunities
are presented by EU ports and airports policy to support development in
Wales?
