answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2016 answer text <p>The Government wants to ensure that authorities considering franchising can access the information they need to accurately assess their franchising scheme. This will help to ensure that informed decisions can be made on the basis of robust evidence and analysis.</p><p> </p><p>We recognise that some of the information provided by operators will be commercially sensitive. Franchising authorities will need to treat this information with care, and will be able to refuse to release such information by way of the relevant Freedom of Information exemptions. The Bill also makes clear that the information acquired by the franchising authority must only be used in connection with its franchising functions, and not for other purposes.</p> answering member printed Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon question first answered 29/06/2016 11:09:18 answering member 4210 label Biography information for Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
