question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 29 February 2016 to Question 27209, on British Transport Police: finance, what assessment he has made of the operational implications of the planned reduction in the British Transport Police budget in 2016-17.
tabling member constituency	Dewsbury
tabling member printed	Paula Sherriff
uin	30898
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2016 answer text <p>Setting the budget of the British Transport Police (BTP) is a matter for the British Transport Police Authority. However, during the course of discussions on the spending review, the Department made clear to the BTP that it considered that any efficiencies that could be achieved should not materially impact on the operational policing capability of the BTP. I also understand that the reduction in the BTP’s budget in 2016-17 relates to the non-core policing budget, which is policing provided by the BTP at railway operators’ request on a commercial contract basis, rather than the core police budget which is set by the Authority.</p> answering member constituency Devizes answering member printed Claire Perry question first answered 17/03/2016 14:15:09 answering member 3974 label Biography information for Claire Perry
