"The Secretary of State knows, because I have raised it repeatedly, about the appalling service that my constituents are receiving from Northern Rail, with delays, cancellations, overcrowding, and trains running through stations without stopping when they should.

Written Question
Monday 23rd April 2018
Asked by:
Kate Green (Labour - Stretford and Urmston)
Question
to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the oral contribution of the Minister for the Cabinet Office and Paymaster General of 2 November 2016, Official Report, column 879, and pursuant to the Answer of 3 April 2018 to Question 134113, on Travellers: Equality, what meetings he has had since 2016 with the Minister for the Cabinet Office on using the 2011 census classifications that differentiate Gypsies and Travellers.
Answered by Jesse Norman
- Shadow Leader of the House of Commons
The Race Disparity Audit website displays data where possible using the Census 2011 ethnic categories, which includes Gypsy or Irish Traveller. The Department has provided data from the National Travel Survey on measures such as driving licence holding, household car access and the number of journeys made each year. However, the number of Gypsy or Irish Travellers in the survey is too small to show data for this group separately.
The Office for National Statistics and the Race Disparity Unit work closely together to improve the harmonisation of ethnicity data across the Government Statistical Service and the coverage of ethnic groups including Gypsy, Roma and Travellers.
The Race Disparity Audit Inter Ministerial Group chaired by the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster discusses matters pertaining to the progress of the Race Disparity Audit, including on the collection of ethnicity data.

Question
to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what plans he has to negotiate for continued UK membership of the Blue Badge disability parking scheme.
Answered by Jesse Norman
- Shadow Leader of the House of Commons
The Blue Badge scheme is a UK scheme, enshrined in national legislation, and will continue after the UK’s exit from the EU.
The Government recognises the benefits of mutual recognition of badges across the EU for UK citizens travelling to Europe. We are considering carefully the potential implications arising from the UK’s exit from the EU, including for the continued recognition of Blue Badges.

Rail Franchising
"I congratulate my hon. Friend on the case he is making. He mentions the cost of season tickets. My constituents are also served by appalling services from Northern.
