answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>In order to test the case for HS2, current fares were assumed to increase by RPI+1% annually until 2036 after which fares are assumed to grow in line with inflation. No fares differential was applied to services using the high speed infrastructure. This is an assumption which provides an appropriate basis for modelling costs and benefits, but does not represent a prediction of future rail fares, which will be affected by government policy, market and industry changes across the GB rail network over many years.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 23/06/2014 13:55:15 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

It is too soon to know what fares will be set for travel on HS2 services. Government decisions about fares structures and regulation will be taken closer to the commencement of HS2 Phase One services in 2026.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 23/06/2014 13:56:29 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/06/2014 answer text <p>The Government currently has no plans to introduce a national statutory concession for young people. However, we recognise the importance of affordable and accessible bus services in enabling young people to access education, employment and training and note that, whilst there is no statutory obligation to provide reduced fares to young people, many bus operators and local authorities make discounts available. It is right that local authorities and the bus industry continue to take the lead in improving services for their younger customers, and I encourage them to continue innovating in this area.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 19/06/2014 12:35:22 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
