The Barnett Formula will have been applied to all changes to the DCMS budget at both Spending Reviews and at Fiscal Events in the normal way as set out in the Statement of Funding Policy.</p><p> </p><p>Companies from across the country have been directly engaged in legacy infrastructure and projects - for example, South Wales based Pro Steel were awarded contracts as part of the transformation of the Olympic Stadium roof post-2012 Games, they secured a £1m loan to enable them to compete for the work from Finance Wales. Pro Steel were also awarded a subcontract by BAM Nuttal for transformation work in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park post games consisting of re-purposing and construction of a bridge in the north of the Park near the Velodrome. They were also awarded the contract to make modifications and strengthening works to another bridge, and supply and installation of a third bridge.</p><p> </p><p>Last week I met with my counterparts in Wales and Scotland to discuss the many opportunities the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games presents to the whole of the UK. The department and I look forward to continuing to work closely with the devolved nations to ensure the many opportunities the Games presents - from hosting the Queen's Baton Relay to providing a base for athletes to train - are seized across the country.</p> answering member constituency Eastleigh answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 29/11/2018 11:30:15 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/09/2018 answer text <p>The Secretary of State meets train operating companies regularly to discuss a range of issues.</p><p> </p><p>The majority of train operating companies on Department for Transport franchises currently offer the Delay Repay scheme which provides compensation for delays to journeys from 30 minutes, whatever the cause of the delay or cancellation. In addition, four train operating companies offer compensation for delays of 15 to 29 minutes. The Department has had a number of discussions with franchises about extending Delay Repay, including to offer compensation for delays from 15 minutes.</p><p> </p><p>The minority of franchises that have not yet introduced Delay Repay, including Arriva Trains Wales, set out their compensation arrangements in their Passenger’s Charter. These include discounts for holders of monthly and annual season tickets, if performance falls below a pre-determined threshold. For other passengers, compensation of no less than 50% of the ticket price is payable for delays of 60 minutes or more, and some of these train operators also offer compensation for delays of 30 to 59 minutes; this compensation is generally not payable for delays outside the control of the rail industry.</p><p> </p><p>The Arriva Trains Wales franchise is managed by the Welsh Government under the 2006 Welsh rail devolution arrangements. The next Wales and Borders franchise has been let by the Welsh Government under the new Welsh rail devolution arrangements. Transport for Wales has announced that they will introduce Delay Repay for delays of 15 minutes or more from January 2019.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 10/09/2018 12:07:11 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
