tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL60
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>Passenger train operators must have a licence granted by the Office of Rail and Road (ORR). The licence requires the operator to establish and comply with a complaints handling procedure (CHP) setting out how they handle complaints from customers. The CHP, which has to be approved by the ORR, should include that passengers who are unhappy with the outcome of their complaint can contact Transport Focus (TF) or where appropriate, London TravelWatch (LTW), who may be able to pursue the complaint on their behalf.</p><p> </p><p>ORR reserves the right to carry out detailed annual reviews of licence holders where there is evidence of systemic issues not being addressed or a significant decrease in service performance. They will continue to monitor individual CHPs for compliance and effectiveness using evidence including information on the number, type and underlying cause of complaints and feedback from TF and LTW.</p><p> </p><p>My honourable Friend the Rail Minister (Paul Maynard) has also been leading discussions with industry and consumer bodies about introducing a rail ombudsman that would improve the passenger voice in rail and provide independent binding resolution of complaints. He anticipates being in a position to provide a further update by the end of the summer when this work has been further developed.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 04/07/2017 14:37:29 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

Work is underway to better understand the risk posed by drones to commercial aircraft and ensure that the regulatory and industry responses remain fit for purpose. The Government has conducted a consultation to determine if further measures are needed in this area and will be responding to this soon with its intended future actions.</p><p> </p><p>We have also been working closely with the CAA and industry to adapt and strengthen existing measures and mitigations as drone use and the related technology evolves. This has led to a safety awareness and education campaign aimed at leisure drone users, the launch of a new www.dronesafe.uk website, and a free new app ‘Drone Assist’ by NATS, which shows users where they should and should not fly in their locality.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 28/06/2017 11:09:45 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
