British Transport Police: Leicester
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent discussions she has had with the British Transport Police on response times to incidents in Leicester and surrounding areas.
Answered by Keir Mather
Ministers at the Department for Transport regularly meet with the British Transport Police (BTP) to discuss the work the force are doing to ensure the railway remains a safe environment.
The Chief Constable of the BTP has operational independence over the deployment of their resources across the network. BTP response times are dependent on the severity of the incident.
