answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/10/2019 answer text <p>The HM Forces Railcard is administered by military unit administration offices under a bilateral agreement between the Ministry of Defence (MOD) and the Rail Delivery Group (RDG). The MOD purchases Railcards from RDG for £21 per railcard and then recovers the £21 cost from individual Service personnel who wish to purchase a railcard. The administrative cost incurred by MOD is minimal but could not be disaggregated from wider budgets.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 28/10/2019 17:20:21 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer
