Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what changes he plans to make to the British Transport Police budget as a result of his recent announcement of the end to rail franchising.
This question was answered on 29th September 2020
The British Transport Police’s budget is set by the British Transport Police Authority. Those operators required to use the BTP will continue to pay for policing with those subject to the new Emergency Recovery Measures Agreements (ERMA) or those under Directly Operated Railways (DOR) control continuing to be charged as now.
