HC Deb 25 October 1993 vol 230 cc494-5W
43. Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list those charters and the specific targets where financial compensation is a remedy for failure to meet the charter's standards.

Mr. David Davis

There are seven charters containing provision for financial compensation. They are the British Rail passengers charter; London Underground customers charter; Northern Ireland railways passengers charter; Contributions Agency contributors charter; Contributions Agency employers charter; and the Benefits Agency customer charter.

Mr. Amess

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what representations he has received on the effectiveness of the citizens charter.

Mr. David Davis

My right hon. Friend has received numerous representations about the effectiveness of the citizens charter, most recently at a series of regional forums where local public service managers have been discussing how they are putting charter principles into practice.
