answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/10/2017 answer text <p>A meaningful regional breakdown of infrastructure investment is difficult due to the nature of many transport projects, which traverse multiple regions. The Infrastructure Projects Authority (IPA) publishes a forward-looking pipeline of planned projects, including transport programmes by region. However, this includes a number of projects that have not been allocated to regions, and, by value, around 60% have not been allocated to an individual region because they relate to schemes that cover multiple regions or programmes that will be spread across the whole country, such as HS2.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2017 answer text <p>This Department does not provide an overall piece of guidance on allocation of spending by local authorities on transport for pensioners. However, different Departmental transport schemes may publish bespoke guidance clarifying their schemes further. For example, for bus concessions, the Department has published guidance on bus concession eligibility and updates regularly its guidance on how authorities should reimburse bus operators. Other Departmental schemes will have separate arrangements.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 16/10/2017 14:07:57 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>There are no plans to introduce a blanket concession on cross-country bus travel in England, where the bus market (outside London) is deregulated. Decisions regarding service provision are primarily a commercial matter for bus and coach operators, many of whom already offer generous discounts on longer or inter-city journeys.</p><p>Long-distance services are specifically excluded from the current English national concession which focusses on providing free off-peak local bus travel to eligible older and disabled people, helping them to remain active and independent in the community.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 05/09/2017 08:48:44 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
