100 Jurisdiction of transport police

(1) Where a member of the British Transport Police Force has
been requested by a constable of-

(a) the police force for any police area,
(b) the Ministry of Defence Police, or
(c) the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority Constabulary

O/T but for the sake of completeness - the UKAEA Constabulary have now
been reformed as the Civil Nuclear Constabulary [1]. As well as what is
said in the Wikipedia entry, I think the change was also to do with
disembedding the police force from the UKAEA, given that the government
wishes to privatise it in an attempt to create a competetive market in
decommisioning nuclear power stations and other civil nuclear sites.

Back on topic, thanks for your post Ian, it's good to read the actual
legislation that covers this matter.
