answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/09/2018 answer text <p>The government is committed to supporting families. To achieve this, in 2014 we introduced the Family Test, which aims to ensure that impacts on family relationships and functioning are recognised early on during the process of policy development and help inform the policy decisions made by Ministers. There is no requirement for departments to publish the results of assessments made under the Family Test.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 14/09/2018 11:12:56 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2017 answer text <p>The Government has allocated more than £61bn in transport capital investment over the five years to 2020/21. This is record investment to make the network more reliable and better connected, in recognition of the fact that families and businesses rely on that network every day.</p><p> </p><p>While we take forward a number of policies that play a role in strengthening family life, including our £1.2bn cycling and walking investment plan, extension of the young person’s railcard and introduction of more flexible rail season tickets, it is rare for specific transport legislation to have a significant impact at the level of the family. As such the Department is not aware of instances when the specific Family Test has been applied to transport legislation since 2014, over and above the usual impact assessment process which considers a wide range of impacts.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 21/12/2017 09:13:29 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2017 answer text <p>All families rely on the transport network, whether it’s to access education, get to work or the shops, or to visit friends and relations. That is why the Government has allocated more than £61bn in transport capital investment over the five years to 2020/21; record investment to make the network more reliable and better connected.</p><p> </p><p>In April this year, we published the Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy, a £1.2bn plan to make cycling and walking the natural choice for the shorter, local journeys that are fundamental to family life. By creating safer streets, where cyclists and pedestrians feel like they have a place, families will be more encouraged to realise the health, social, environmental and economic benefits of these modes. Additionally, the strategy sets out a vision for better streets; with community-based activities and play streets.</p><p> </p><p>We also remain committed to regulating rail fares to help keep down the cost of living and, in the Budget, announced a trial of a new 26-30 year old railcard to extend concessions to a wider group. Additionally, as part of the rail franchise re-letting process, the Department requires bidders to include proposals that give customers who travel to work or commute part-time a better value for money option than buying multiple return journeys.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to delivering a transport system which works for all. The Accessibility Action Plan will be published in 2018 and will set out the Government’s ambitions to help make transport accessible for all, enabling everyone to connect with their families.</p> answering member constituency South Holland and The Deepings answering member printed Mr John Hayes question first answered 20/12/2017 17:14:35 answering member 350 label Biography information for Sir John Hayes
