Written Question
British Transport Police: Airwave Service
Tuesday 31st October 2017

Asked by: Paula Sherriff (Labour - Dewsbury)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether rail operators will contribute to the airwave replacement programme for British Transport Police.

Answered by Paul Maynard

We expect the costs of the Airwave replacement programme for the British Transport Police to be reflected in the policing charges levied on the rail operators by the British Transport Police Authority. The position will be kept under review.
