§ Dr. Hampsonasked the Secretary of State for Transport when the operations of the British transport police were last reviewed; what conclusions were drawn from any such review; and if he will make a statement on the work of the Force.
§ Mr. RidleyThe operations of the British Transport police are kept under constant review by the British Transport Police Committee, which can seek advice from Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary as appropriate. I strongly hold the view that the work done by the force, much of it under difficult conditions is of a very high standard and deserves to be wholeheartedly supported.
