answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>The Government takes the threat of climate change seriously and is committed to addressing its risks nationally and internationally. There are a number of Ministers across Government and devolved assemblies who have responsibility for communicating the facts about and impacts of climate change. Given the breadth of communications activities across Government and that they are not easily disentangled from other work, it is not possible to provide total costs for the communications elements, as this would incur disproportionate costs.</p> answering member constituency Hastings and Rye answering member printed Amber Rudd question first answered 17/11/2014 16:16:12 answering member 3983 label Biography information for Amber Rudd

The Thameslink, Southern and Great Northern (TSGN) rail franchise includes an obligation to introduce carnet-based season tickets on smartcards by 30 September 2015. The Essex Thameside franchise includes a similar obligation to introduce flexible season tickets and carnets.

Conclusions around price, flexibility, the impacts on operator revenue and other ticket prices will be central to any decisions on wider roll-out.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 28/10/2014 15:51:31 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
