To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what is the average cost of dealing with a passenger complaint under the current railway system; and what was the equivalent cost(a) one, (b) two and (c) three years ago. [24547]

Figures on the average cost of answering customer complaints about railway services are not held centrally and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
