answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2019 answer text <p>Rail, Bus and Coach and Motoring</p><p>The real terms changes in percentage costs for years 1997, 2010 and 2015 were calculated using the components of Retail Price Index (RPI) from the ‘RPI All Items Index 1987=100’ available from the Office for National Statistics:</p><p><a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/timeseries/chaw/mm23" target="_blank">https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/inflationandpriceindices/timeseries/chaw/mm23</a></p><p> </p><p>These figures are based on the following component categories:</p><p>CHAW- RPI All Items; DOCW-Rail Fares; DOCX- Bus and Coach Fares; CHBK- Motoring</p><p> </p><p>These component categories have been annualised and re-based to 1997, 2010 and 2015 for comparison to 2016. The RPI All Items index was used to calculate the real terms increases for each transport component.</p><p> </p><p>Transport cost increases from 1980 use historic ONS RPI data. This is due to RPI being re-based in 1987. Pre-1987 codes for transport components were matched to the new categories using the code descriptors, which had remained unchanged. The historic data is not published online. The real terms increase from 1980 was then calculated using the same methodology as above.</p><p> </p><p>While information prior to 1987 was provided in previous PQ responses, it was drawn from historical data which is not readily available and will no longer be provided in future.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Aviation</p><p>The costs of travelling domestically by air are based on fare data taken from the Civil Aviation Authority passenger survey. The Retail Price Index (RPI), taken from the Office for National Statistics, has been used to adjust for the real term change in the costs. As no separate RPI index is available for domestic air fares, the overall index for transport components has been used.</p><p> </p><p>This index is available from Table TSGB1308 in the Transport Statistics Great Britain Compendium at the link below:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/transport-expenditure-tsgb13" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/transport-expenditure-tsgb13</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Northampton North answering member printed Michael Ellis question first answered 08/07/2019 13:30:32 answering member 4116 label Biography information for Sir Michael Ellis

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2019 answer text <p>The UK and other EU Member States agreed, in principle, to the creation of the Permanent Forum on People of African Descent. The Permanent Forum was established during the 73<sup>rd</sup> session of the UN General Assembly by resolution 73/262. However, the UK and other EU Member States were unable to support this resolution. This was because of concerns around the specific modalities for its establishment, and that risk that the Permanent Forum could divert resources away from the full and effective implementation of the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination, which should remain the basis of all efforts to prevent, combat and eradicate racism.</p> answering member constituency South West Wiltshire answering member printed Dr Andrew Murrison question first answered 04/07/2019 13:34:56 answering member 1466 label Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison
