uin	209878
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2019 answer text <p>The industrial dispute is a matter between Northern, its employees and their union representative in which the Government cannot intervene directly. However, the Government is keen for these strikes to end. They are having a big impact on the people and businesses of so many communities across the North. The Government has written to the Rail North Partnership (through which the Department and Transport for the North co-manage the Northern franchise) expressing our clear support for a second member of staff on Northern trains who is focused on delivering excellent customer service. Northern have now confirmed to the RMT that there will continue to be a second appropriately trained member of staff on board the trains, and have guaranteed jobs and pay will be protected. The Government therefore continues to call on both parties to engage in talks and resolve the dispute.</p> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 25/01/2019 13:24:18 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment the Government has made of merits of lowering the age of eligibility for the older person’s bus pass to 60 years old nationwide.

tabling member printed	Faisal Rashid
uin	201260
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2018 answer text <p>Restoring the previous age of eligibility for concessionary bus travel to sixty would re-create the anomaly of some non-disabled people of working-age, some of whom may be on significant wages, being entitled to a free bus pass, which was not the original intention of the national bus concessionary scheme. Re-establishing the link between concessionary bus pass eligibility and the state pension age addresses that issue and will also help the financial sustainability of the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Local authorities have the discretion to offer concessionary travel to those who are yet to reach the qualifying age, such as have been introduced in London and Liverpool.</p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 18/12/2018 09:38:46 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
