PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
British Transport Police: Scotland (16 November 2017)

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment his Department has made of the implications for safety in on cross-border trains of the Scottish Government's plans to integrate the British Transport Police in Scotland into Police Scotland.

Asked by:
Andrew Bowie (Conservative)

We are working closely with the Scottish Government, the two police forces and police authorities, through a Joint Programme Board, to ensure that effective arrangements are in place for cross-border railway policing once responsibilities have been transferred, so that we continue to have a railway policing service which protects the safety of passengers.
