Select Committee on Transport Minutes of Evidence


Examination of Witness (Questions 100-103)

ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER ALAN BROWN

26 APRIL 2006

  Q100  Chairman: If you were able to go ahead with what you have planned how would you guarantee funding for the railway involvement of particular officers? How would you ring-fence the finance needed?

  Assistant Commissioner Brown: It would be the subject of special service agreements, the same as Transport for London and the bus network are currently.

  Q101  Chairman: And you think that that would be sufficient?

  Assistant Commissioner Brown: It has certainly worked well in relation to the policing of the bus routes and that provision of public transport in London, yes.

  Q102  Chairman: If the Government rejects your proposal could this have a negative impact on policing in London?

  Assistant Commissioner Brown: Yes.

  Q103  Chairman: And on your relationship with the British Transport Police?

  Assistant Commissioner Brown: No.

  Chairman: Thank you very much. The connectivity has been positively amazing. Thank you so much for coming.
