answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2022 answer text <p>While it is not possible to track the specific number of occasions where the Book with Confidence scheme has been used by passengers, rail industry survey data suggests that the scheme has contributed significantly to passenger willingness to travel by train during the pandemic. The Government has therefore extended the Book with Confidence scheme through to 31 March 2022, in recognition of the continuing uncertainty facing passengers due to COVID-19.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Aldridge-Brownhills answering member printed Wendy Morton question first answered 11/01/2022 10:22:24 answering member 4358 label Biography information for Wendy Morton
