question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what estimate he has made of the cost to the public purse in 2016 of (a) raising regulated national rail fares by the retail price index and (b) removing train operators' flexibility to vary regulated fare levels within the basket of fares in 2016.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2016 answer text <p>We know that passengers are concerned about the cost of fares. That is why we have capped regulated fares at the level of the Retail Price Index (RPI) for three years running, and will continue to do so for the life of this parliament. We have also removed the flex which allowed train operators’ flexibility to vary regulated fare levels within the basket. The estimated cost to the Department in 2016 is, £30.4 million (in nominal prices) for capping regulated rail fares at RPI+0%, and £6 million (in nominal prices) for removing the flex.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 02/03/2016 10:54:14 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/02/2016 answer text <p>The cost of annual season tickets varies by route. The Department for Transport has access to commercially confidential information which allows us to assess how many season tickets have been sold at which prices, to determine the average season ticket price. This process was originally carried out using 13/14 sales data and then increased in line with regulated fares policy. Because this information is derived from information we are licensed to use, from the Association of Train Operating Companies (ATOC), we are not able to share this publically.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 26/02/2016 13:03:41 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/02/2016 answer text <p>The Department for Transport compensated Transport for London (TfL) in full for the projected impact on their revenues of the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s September 2014 announcement on regulated rail fares. The Department did this by paying TfL an additional £43 million, spread over two financial years (£7m in 2014/15, and £36m in 2015/16), by means of a variation to their core grant (the GLA transport grant, paid under section 101 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999). This followed consultation with HM Treasury and with the Greater London Authority.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 25/02/2016 16:25:23 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2016 answer text <p>Data on all annual season ticket issues and the revenue associated with them was used to create an implied average annual season ticket fare. This was then uprated under both the RPI+0 policy, and the Department’s previous assumption about future policy (RPI+1), using the OBR’s assumptions of future RPI increases. The difference between the two was then summed to reach an average saving of £425 over the period.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 22/02/2016 14:52:45 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
