HC Deb 10 February 1997 vol 290 c61W
16. Mr. Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what steps he is taking to tackle crime and its causes on the London Underground. [13360]

Mr. Bowis

Recorded crime on the underground has fallen in six of the last seven years as a result of measures taken by London Transport, The british transport police, local authorities and the Government. I have established and chair a secure stations national steering group which will be promoting safety measures for passengers and staff at rail and underground stations.
