David T. C. Davies – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Transport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by David T. C. Davies on 2016-10-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether British Transport Police officers based in Wales will continue to be accountable to his Department after the devolution of the rail franchise to the Welsh Assembly.

Paul Maynard

The British Transport Police Authority, which oversees the British Transport Police, includes a member who has knowledge of the interests of persons in Wales and who is appointed following consultation with the National Assembly for Wales. There are no plans to change these accountability arrangements insofar as they relate to policing of the railways in Wales.
