question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 28 March 2018 to Question 133572, whether any funding allocated by his Department to Network Rail for improvement works on the Southern and Thameslink networks will be paid back to his Department in compensation for disruption during those works.
tabling member constituency	Croydon Central
tabling member printed	Sarah Jones
uin	135108
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2018 answer text <p>Compensation is paid by Network Rail to Train Operating Companies for planned disruption on the network (Schedule 4 Payments). No compensation will be paid to Govia Thameslink Railway (GTR) as a result of the works referred to in Question 133572 although it will receive some of the money to pay for additional costs it may incur as a result of the disruption to passengers, for example bus replacement services – according to usual industry processes.</p><p> </p><p>For other franchises, some compensation would normally be paid to franchisees to reflect the loss of revenue resulting from the engineering work impact. Again this is part of standard industry practice. For the Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern (TSGN) franchise, as the Department for Transport takes revenue risk, this compensation will be paid to the Department.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 16/04/2018 16:21:48 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone

uin	135152
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2018 answer text <p>The Government’s ambition is for almost every car and van to be zero emission by 2050. In order to achieve this, we have said we will end the sale of new conventional petrol and diesel cars and vans by 2040. The UK was the first major economy in the world to set out such a challenging ambition for new vehicle sales.</p><p> </p><p>Our ambition is supported by one of the most comprehensive packages of support in the world for ultra low emission vehicles, which is why we have one of the biggest markets for these vehicles in Europe. Meeting the 2040 commitment should be industry-led, with Government monitoring developments closely, and we will consider intervening if not enough progress is being made.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 20/04/2018 10:49:12 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
