Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to update the logo of the British Transport Police with the Tudor Crown.

Unlike the Metropolitan police, the British Transport Police (BTP) logo does not use the whole Royal Cypher. Official guidance states that the only items which currently require a new logo are those that use the Royal Cypher in its entirety. It also states that the decision to replace cyphers will be at the discretion of individual organisations.

However, BTP are awaiting further guidance from the Cabinet Office and the Royal Household. Should the force be required to update its logo, the current guidance stipulates that it would be able to do so in a gradual and cost-efficient manner.
