answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2017 answer text <p>The key issue for a new direct train service between Oxford and Bristol is the lack of spare track capacity. Enhancements to the route to enable additional train services would need to be considered alongside other rail infrastructure upgrades in England and Wales.</p><p> </p><p>On 12 October 2017 the Transport Secretary set out the final Statement of Funds Available for the railway in England and Wales for Control Period 6, which covers the years 2019 to 2024.</p><p> </p><p>The Department needs to ensure investment best addresses the needs of passengers and freight, and that funding commitments appropriately reflect the stage of development of those enhancements. This is why there will be a new process for enhancements, building on the principles set out in the ‘Memorandum of Understanding between Department for Transport and Network Rail on rail enhancements’ last year. We’ll set out more information on this new process shortly.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 08/11/2017 10:20:29 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/11/2017 answer text <p>We have been working across government to ensure the almost 2,000 former Monarch employees receive the support they need. I am pleased that other airlines are already appealing to Monarch’s former employees. For instance, Virgin Atlantic are offering a fast track recruitment process for cabin crew and pilots, and easyJet have invited applications for 500 cabin crew vacancies and for direct-entry Captains or First Officers who meet Captain qualifications.</p><p> </p><p>The Job Centre’s Rapid Response Service is also helping employees make the transition into new roles with tailored support. All former Monarch employees will have received information from Jobcentre Plus outlining the support available to them. In total, Jobcentre Plus has pulled together a list of more than 6,300 vacancies across the major UK based airlines, which will help former Monarch employees remain in the airline industry.</p><p> </p><p>There are also special arrangements for employees who are owed redundancy payments following the insolvency of their employer. The Redundancy Payments Service in the Insolvency Service can pay statutory amounts owed to the former employees from the National Insurance Fund. This may include redundancy pay, notice pay and pension contributions. Information on how to claim any money owed can be found on <a href="http://www.gov.uk" target="_blank">www.gov.uk</a> or by contacting the Insolvency Service on 0330 331 0020.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes grouped question UIN 110966 question first answered 08/11/2017 09:58:06 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
