answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government published a response in December 2016 outlining improvements to the existing penalty fares scheme and appeals procedure. This includes improving the Penalty Fares appeals system by adding a third stage, where appeals will be considered by an independent appeals panel. Train operators and appeals bodies will also be required to provide data on penalty fares appeals. This will strengthen department oversight of penalty fares appeals bodies and operators who issue penalty fares.</p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 20/11/2017 16:54:39 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
