Mr Don Foster (Bath, Liberal Democrat)
I listened with great interest to the hon. Lady's concerns. Does she agree with the Minister that the difference between the British Transport police and Home Office police forces is that there are representatives of democratically elected bodies—local councils—on the Home Office police authorities, but no similar representation on the British Transport police authority? That makes a significant difference.
