	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/11/2016 answer text <p>By the end of 2018, my aim is for every passenger to have the choice of travelling without a paper ticket. In the first instance this means commuters having access to a smart season ticket, and other travellers being able to buy and use barcode tickets on their mobile phones anywhere on the network. Smart tickets offer passengers more convenience and choice – including better and more targeted travel information such as real time train running and platform information. My Department will oversee the delivery of these programmes.</p><p> </p><p>By the end of the year the South East Flexible Ticketing programme will have introduced smart ticketing on five of the major London and south east rail operators. In the North of England, we have committed £150m to support Transport for the North (TfN) in its plans to introduce smart ticketing. The Rail Delivery Group have brought the rail industry together to agree a long-term vision and it is critical that rail operators collaborate and share ideas to make this vision a reality. Through franchising competitions we are supporting the rail industry to develop and deliver modernised ticketing by setting challenging requirements for bidders, ensuring that customers benefit from a 21st century option.</p><p> </p><p>Flexible tickets can also offer significant benefits to customers.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 16/11/2016 13:44:44 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

The Convention of the High Seas and the International Convention on the Safety of Life at Sea are also relevant. All four Conventions ask that the Department for Transport establish arrangements for search and rescue in the United Kingdom's Search and Rescue Region and formalises international cooperation with neighbouring states by agreeing common response plans and the sharing of resources. The Conventions also compel ships' masters to render assistance to those in distress at sea. The UK's responsibility for search and rescue responsibilities extends out to 30º west in latitude and covers some 1 million square miles. The Department for Transport discharges this responsibility on behalf of the Government.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 01/07/2014 11:21:06 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
