answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/10/2020 answer text <p>Unlike franchised passenger services, Open Access Operators run services without a contractual relationship with Government and there is no obligation on the Secretary of State under Section 30 of the Railways Act to run those services. Open access operators were therefore not offered Emergency Recovery Measures Agreements (ERMAs). During the COVID-19 outbreak, Open Access Operators have been able to draw upon the general support measures Government has made available across the economy, including the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. Government also provided support for more bespoke measures, such as applications for extensions to track access contracts and deferrals of payments to the British Transport Police. The independent regulatory system, overseen by the Office of Rail and Road, ensures fair treatment for all companies providing rail services.</p> answering member constituency Daventry answering member printed Chris Heaton-Harris grouped question UIN 94518 question first answered 01/10/2020 10:43:52 answering member 3977 label Biography information for Chris Heaton-Harris
