question text	Her Majesty's Government which agencies failed to report statistics on road casualties to the Department for Transport in time for the scheduled publication of Reported Road Casualties for October 2016 to March 2017; and what reasons were given by those agencies for their failure to report on time.
tabling member printed	Baroness Randerson
uin	HL270
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/07/2017 answer text <p>The Department for Transport has postponed publication of its annual 2016 road casualty data until 28 September as a result of a delay in receiving final validated data from Transport for London (TfL), in particular the data which TfL receives and processes for the Metropolitan Police Service (MPS). The MPS data makes up around 15% of the road casualty dataset for Great Britain and therefore a significant component of the national total.</p><p> </p><p>The MPS implemented a new reporting system at the end of 2016, the Case Overview and Preparation Application (COPA) system. TfL has reported that, due to changes in the reporting of road casualty data by the MPS via the COPA system, it has taken longer than normal in providing TfL with the required data to ensure validation and finalisation.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 13/07/2017 13:44:25 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan

uin	2166
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2017 answer text <p>Passengers rightly demand improvements to our railway services. That is why we are currently investing billions each year across the network. However, from time to time, it may be necessary to replace a train service with a bus or coach. Train companies’ responsibilities to passengers who have purchased a rail ticket are set out in the National Rail Conditions of Travel (NRCoT). The NRCoT apply on rail replacement services as for other train services, including the entitlement to compensation for any delayed journey, which is based on the advertised timetable. There is no specific entitlement to compensation relating to journeys involving the use of a rail replacement bus which run to the advertised timetable.</p><p> </p><p>Wherever engineering work is planned in advance, the train company or retailer will make passengers aware of any need to use a rail replacement service, including any altered times in timetable information, so that they may make an informed decision about their travel plans. If the replacement is at short notice, and the person wishing to travel cannot complete their journey because the company is unable to transport their luggage, articles, animals and/or cycles by road vehicle, and they therefore decide not to travel, they are entitled to claim a refund without any administration charge.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 04/07/2017 16:25:18 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard
