answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/11/2023 answer text <p>England has one of widest ranges of fare prices in Europe, including some fare types that are among the cheapest – particularly when booked in advance.</p><p>Following last year’s biggest ever Government intervention to cap rail fare increases well below inflation, we will continue to protect passengers from cost of living pressures and we will not increase next year’s rail fares by as much as the July RPI figure (which was 9 per cent). As in 2021, 2022 and 2023, we have also temporarily delayed the fares increase, enabling passengers to purchase tickets at last year’s prices throughout January and February 2024.</p> answering member constituency Bexhill and Battle answering member printed Huw Merriman question first answered 14/11/2023 11:44:09 answering member 4442 label Biography information for Huw Merriman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2022 answer text <p>This Government is absolutely committed to supporting all victims of crimes, such as rape, domestic abuse, stalking and so called ‘honour’-based abuse . These crimes have absolutely no place in our society, and we are determined to work with the police and other key partners to confront them wherever they appear.</p><p>Both the Tackling Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy and the Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan are clear that they apply to all victims of these crimes, and male victims will benefit from the support and provisions that they contain.</p><p>However, we recognise that there are some specific challenges that men and boys may face. Therefore, in 2019 we published the first ever statement focused on male victims of these crimes. In March, we published a refreshed policy paper “Supporting male victims”, an informational resource on the male victims’ landscape, including the specific challenges male victims face; an outline to the support services outlook; and a guide to developing best practice.</p><p>In addition, the Government funds a range of organisations that provide specialist support to male victims – this includes, from 2019-2022, £168,000 a year for the Men’s Advice Line, a national helpline for male victims of domestic abuse, run by the charity Respect.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 16/05/2022 11:49:47 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
