Policy
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, which policies contained in the 2010 Coalition Agreement and falling under his Department's responsibilities have not yet been implemented; and what the reasons are for each such policy's non-implementation.
- Answer
-
The vast majority of the policies within the 2010 Coalition Agreement and falling under the Department for Transport's responsibilities have either been implemented or will be implemented within the duration of the current Government.
One policy – to grant longer rail franchises – has been subject to a change already agreed and announced by Ministers. In June 2013 the Government published its response to the Brown Review of the Rail Franchising Programme, accepting the Review’s recommendation that the basis for future franchises would be to assume a 7 – 10 year length, adapted to fit the best needs of each franchise.
