Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that passengers paying premium Advance fares on peak services are provided with sufficient seating capacity.
Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
The provision of Advance fares is a commercial decision for train operators. Advance fares are priced according to demand for a particular service and vary by route, date, time of travel and time of booking.
Advance fares are sold with a seat reservation and are therefore limited in number. Train operators manage the availability of Advance fares alongside the capacity available on each service.

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what guidance his Department provides on the assessment of cumulative and in-combination recreational impacts on Special Areas of Conservation where multiple housing developments and associated mitigation schemes are proposed within the same zone of influence; and whether such assessments should take account of (a) cross-use of mitigation areas, (b) shared rights of way and (c) cumulative visitor pressure on the protected site.
Answered by Jenny Riddell-Carpenter - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)
The overarching policy framework for assessment of development impacts on Special Areas of Conservation is provided by the National Planning Policy Framework. There is also guidance on how to undertake Habitats Regulations Assessments on gov.uk. This policy and guidance make clear that assessment of impact should take into account instances where the impact of a number of projects may act and become significant in combination. It also follows from the guidance that developers and planning authorities will need to consider the multiple uses of land where this affects the likelihood of impacts and effectiveness of mitigation measures.

Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what guidance her Department provides to train operating companies on maintaining the availability of lower-priced Advance fares on peak commuter services.
Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)
Advance fares are not regulated by the Government and their availability is a commercial decision for train operators. They are priced according to demand for a particular service and vary by route, date and time of travel, and time of booking.
Decisions on the number, price and availability of Advance fares on individual services, including peak commuter services, remain matters for the relevant operator.
