The Department does not hold this information, however the Department does publish data on the total amount of compensation paid by train operating companies to passengers.
Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
