tabling member constituency	Barnsley Central
tabling member printed	Dan Jarvis
uin	5723
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/09/2017 answer text <p>As part of their licence to operate, each train operating company is required to have a Disabled Persons’ Protection Policy (DPPP) in place. This sets out the level of services and facilities that disabled passengers can expect, how to get staff assistance, and how to get help if things do go wrong. Each operator is also required to participate in the Passenger Assist system which allows disabled passengers to book staff assistance when they require it.</p><p> </p><p>In many instances across the country, staff on the platform are readily available to help disabled passengers. Train crew have a role too, however there is no link between accessibility and driver-only operation running of trains. For example on Southern Rail, 98% of trains that are operated by the driver retain a second member of staff on the train, who can help both able bodied and disabled passengers.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Blackpool North and Cleveleys answering member printed Paul Maynard question first answered 05/09/2017 16:24:02 answering member 3926 label Biography information for Paul Maynard

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

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2017 answer text <p>When a solicitor’s firm is closed voluntarily, it should make arrangements with its clients regarding any ongoing work, and to arrange for the return of clients' papers and money. If the firm is closed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, the Authority will appoint Intervention Agents to deal with the firm and contact all of its clients.</p><p> </p><p>The closure of a firm will not of itself invalidate the ongoing appointment of any of its members as an attorney. The appointment of an attorney is personal to that individual. It is a matter for the donor at any time to remove the attorney, if they still have capacity, or for the Court of Protection. If the donor wished, the appointment would remain even if the attorney moved to another firm.</p> answering member constituency Bracknell answering member printed Dr Phillip Lee question first answered 17/07/2017 17:01:43 answering member 3921 label Biography information for Dr Phillip Lee
