The bid from Abellio included an increase in the frequency of services throughout the new Abellio East Midlands franchise, including an additional train per hour from Corby to London. There will be more trains operating throughout the week and services will start earlier in the morning and end later in the evening. The new franchise will deliver over 18,000 standard class seats in the peak for passengers at St Pancras, over 5,000 peak standard class seats at Lincoln \u2013 more than doubling capacity \u2013 and over 3,200 more peak standard class seats into and out of Nottingham.<\/p>

There will be modern smart ticketing options for leisure and business journeys and for season tickets for commuters. Flexible ticket options will provide better value fares for regular passengers who travel less than five days a week and there will be enhanced Delay Repay compensation for passengers whose journeys are delayed by more than 15 minutes, compared to 30 minutes today. From December 2020, there will be more trains calling at Kettering going north compared to today and those train will have more seats<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3996", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Jones"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Harrogate and Knaresborough"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Jones"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-05-02", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-05-02T13:38:30.517Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "27"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Transport"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-04-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "East Midlands Rail Franchise"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether the new Abellio train franchise for the East Midlands will deliver improvements in (a) seat capacity, (b) fares and (c) connectivity north from Kettering.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1537", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Mr Philip Hollobone"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Kettering"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Mr Philip Hollobone"} ], "uin" : "248617"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1123727", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Attorney General"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1123727/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The CPS does not collate or publish data on categories of offender such as foreign terrorist fighters.

More than 45,000 foreign national offenders have been removed from the UK since 2010, and in the last financial year almost 6,000 were removed from prisons, immigration removal centres, and the community.<\/p> <\/p> The Early Removal Scheme is the principal method for removing foreign national offenders early from prison. In 2017/18, over 2,000 foreign national offenders were removed under this scheme. Prisoners may also be transferred to a prison in their own country under Prisoner Transfer Agreements. The principal compulsory prisoner transfer scheme is the EU Prisoner Transfer Framework Decision (2008/909/JHA). In addition, compulsory transfer may take place under the Additional Protocol to the Council of Europe Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons, and a small number of bilateral prisoner transfer agreements.<\/p> <\/p> Our departure from the European Union will have implications on prisoner transfers to the EU. If we leave the EU without a \u2018deal\u2019, we will lose access to the EU Prisoner Transfer Framework Decision. This will mean falling back on the Council of Europe Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons and its Additional Protocol, which we believe to be a less effective mechanism than the EU agreement. Therefore, under a \u2018no deal\u2019 scenario we should be prepared to see a decline in the number of transfers to and from the EU.<\/p> <\/p> The tables below provide information for England and Wales, taken from Management Information. In relation to British national prisoners transferred into England and Wales, Management Information does not distinguish between prisoners transferred under the EU Prisoner Transfer Framework Decision and the Council of Europe Convention on the Transfer of Sentenced Persons. Transfer may therefore have taken place on either a voluntary or compulsory basis. Please note that transfers have not taken place to several countries listed in the tables below as the UK either does not hold nationals from those countries in our prisons, or because there are concerns that prisons might be in breach of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
