Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 17 July 2017 to Question 4164, what proportion of the estimated life cycle costs for the emergency service network programme it is planned that the British Transport Police will pay.
Answered by Nick Hurd
The emergency services mobile communications programme (ESMCP) will provide the next generation communication system for the 3 emergency ser-vices (police, fire and rescue, and ambulance) and other public safety users. This system will be called the emergency services network (ESN). ESN will provide the next generation integrated critical voice and broadband data ser-vices for the 3 emergency services. In addition to the 3 emergency services, over 300 other organisations, including British Transport Police, are active us-ers of the current emergency communication service. ESMCP is working with them to help manage their transition to ESN.
The costs of upgrading to the Emergency Services Network are available in the public domain at:

"When the Minister responds, will he address the fact that his Government recently awarded an anti-choice charity called Life £250,000 from the tampon tax fund in what I believe is the largest award?
