We are focussing on ensuring the ability to trade as freely as possible with the EU and supporting the continued growth of the UK and European broadcasting industry. In addition, due to the UK's ongoing participation in the Council of Europe's Convention on Transfrontier Television (CTT), which will not be affected by the UK’s withdrawal from the EU, works originating in the UK will continue to be classed as European Works, which is extremely important to industry.</p><p>The Government is undertaking a wide range of continuing analysis in support of our EU exit negotiations and preparations. This analysis will help define our future partnership with the EU, and informs our understanding of how EU exit will affect the UK’s domestic policies and frameworks.<br><br>Ministers have a specific responsibility, which Parliament has endorsed, not to release information that would reveal our negotiating position and so the Government will not provide an ongoing commentary on internal analytical work.</p><p>The Government has confirmed that when we bring forward the vote on the final deal, we will ensure that Parliament is presented with the appropriate analysis to make an informed decision.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 13/09/2018 08:59:07 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

	uin	169712
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/09/2018 answer text <p>The minimum standards for delay compensation are set out in the National Rail Conditions of Travel (NRCoT). Franchised Train Operating Companies (TOCs) are required to have in place a Passenger’s Charter which includes their specific arrangements for compensation for passengers, with most franchised TOCs offering more than the NRCoT minimum.</p><p> </p><p>The Department for Transport has improved the compensation offer by introducing the Delay Repay scheme on all franchises that have been awarded since 2007. Delay Repay is now in place on the majority of franchised TOCs and provides compensation of at least 50% of the ticket price for delays to journeys of 30 minutes or more, whatever the cause of the delay or cancellation and whatever the type of ticket. The Department has further improved the compensation offer by introducing Delay Repay for delays of 15 minutes or more. This now operates on GTR, South Western, West Midlands and c2c and is being introduced on other franchises as these come up for renewal.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 13/09/2018 08:51:20 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
