HC Deb 10 March 1989 vol 148 c12W
Mr. Dobson

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department who is paying for the Metropolitan police officers deployed on the London Underground; and how much are they costing.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

I understand from the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis that at present manpower levels the annual cost of Metropolitan police officers attached to British Transport Police would be about £1.6 million. The cost will be met by London Underground Ltd.
