question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 17 November 2015 to Question 15582, if he will define bus franchising in relation to the North East Devolution Deal and how it differs from a Quality Contact Scheme.
tabling member constituency	Houghton and Sunderland South
tabling member printed	Bridget Phillipson
uin	18399
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/12/2015 answer text <p>The Buses Bill will provide the powers for local transport authorities to franchise their local bus services subject to agreement from Government. It will allow local transport authorities to replace the current deregulated bus market with a system of contracting, whereby the authority specifies the services or outcomes they are looking to achieve and bus companies bid to provide those services.</p><br /><p>The final content of the Bill is still being developed, but the process through which the franchising powers are exercised is likely to differ from that set out in the Quality Contract Scheme process. The intended outcome of franchising is similar to that of a Quality Contract Scheme, although there are likely to be some differences. For example, the ten-year time limit that applies to Quality Contract Schemes is not expected to apply under franchising.</p><br /> answering member constituency Harrogate and Knaresborough answering member printed Andrew Jones question first answered 08/12/2015 17:13:36 answering member 3996 label Biography information for Andrew Jones

tabling member constituency	Crawley
tabling member printed	Henry Smith
uin	18288
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/12/2015 answer text <p>This Government is investing record amounts in transforming the UK rail network, improving journeys for everyone. At the same time, we are committed to ensuring the economic security of hard-working families. Fares continue to play a role in this, and we recognise that no one likes to see the cost of their rail travel rise.</p><br /><p>That is why the Government has put a stop to above inflation (RPI) fare increases on regulated rail fares until 2020. This extends the cap on regulated rail fares put in place for 2014 and 2015. This means people’s earnings will, on average, rise more quickly than regulated rail fares for the first time since 2003 and an average saving of £425 to annual season ticket holders over the next five years.</p><br /><p>This is a vital part of our long-term economic plan for Britain’s railways: delivering a bigger, better network with improved services – all while getting more out of every taxpayer’s pound we spend.</p><br /> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 09/12/2015 10:37:16 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
