tabling member constituency	Tamworth
tabling member printed	Christopher Pincher
uin	208587
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2014 answer text <p> </p><p>The Department recognises that the alternative cash offer is a new approach to compensating those who will be affected by the railway and we therefore do not have the evidence to estimate the number of people likely to take it up. We have instead modelled a range of possible take-up rates, up to 75%. In order to strengthen our understanding of the potential impact of this policy, we have commissioned an independent social research company to gather further evidence and we will also be able to draw upon responses from the current consultation.</p><p> </p><p /> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 11/09/2014 13:59:32 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

This equates to benefits of approximately £342m (PV, 2011 prices) in 2036. Further analysis by KPMG suggests the wider economic effects could be far greater.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 21/07/2014 16:09:36 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
