	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2017 answer text <p>The Government is considering carefully all the potential implications arising from the UK’s exit from the EU, including future arrangements for the regulation of civil aviation. The Repeal Bill, introduced into the House of Commons on 13 July, will convert EU law as it stands at the moment of Exit into domestic law before we leave the EU. Until the UK leaves the EU, EU law continues to apply alongside national rules.

	question text	Her Majesty's Government whether the European Train Control System to be installed on high speed lines either side of the Channel Tunnel is compatible with those lines in all respects; and whether they intend to ensure that those plans are maintained as part of the Brexit negotiations.
	tabling member printed	Lord Berkeley
	uin	HL119
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>Officials at the Department for Transport are working with both the French Government and industry to ensure that when the European Train Control System (ETCS) signalling is fitted on the high speed lines in both France and the UK it will be compatible with the ETCS system in the tunnel. Before ETCS is fitted on all three networks, trains using the tunnel will have to have more than one on board signalling systems (ie a Tunnel compatible one and an ETCS one) and there will be a handover between the systems as they move from one piece of infrastructure to another. The UK Government is considering what specific provisions need to be part of any exit agreement to ensure continuity of services using the tunnel.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 04/07/2017 14:39:47 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

	question text	Her Majesty's Government, in the light of criticisms in the Gibb Report, whether they plan to make representations to Southern Rail about simplifying their fare structure.
	tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
	uin	HL207
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/07/2017 answer text <p>The government are implementing many of the recommendations from the Gibb Report, however his recommendation regarding fare structures would not be consistent with government fares policy. It is important to get fares reform right and to ensure a clear and consistent passenger proposition. We are working with the Rail Delivery Group and industry to develop a small number of fares trials arising from last December’s fares and ticketing forum. These will enable us to test principles for potential reform and gather invaluable evidence about the best way to proceed.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 11/07/2017 15:10:28 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
