Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she plans to take to support former officers of the British Transport Police who are experiencing psychological trauma linked to their service, in the context of the 20th anniversary of the 7 July 2005 terrorist attacks.

I am grateful to all those who stepped into danger to keep Londoners safe and we will all remember the tragic deaths of 52 innocent people.

Former British Transport Police officers are entitled to support from the Police Care UK charity who specialise in providing services for retired and serving officers including psychological support and therapy. The families of officers can also access this support.
