answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/01/2015 answer text <p>The BTP currently polices transport interchanges through hub policing teams. These teams work closely with various partners including the Home Office forces, Network Rail, Transport for London and the train operators to provide a seamless policing model spanning the underground and mainline stations. The aim is to provide a coordinated and focused policing service to keep the general public safe and reduce crime and disorder. There are no plans to expand the role of the British Transport Police (BTP) in providing supervision around transport interchanges.</p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 19/01/2015 12:09:27 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer
