Policing of aerodromes to which Part 2A applies

Police services agreements: duration etc.
25C
1
A police services agreement must specify the period for which it is to be in force.
2
In the case of the first police services agreement for the aerodrome, the period specified must—
a
begin on the day when the requirement in section 25B(1) first applies in relation to the aerodrome, and
b
end on either the 31 March next following that day or on any subsequent 31 March specified in the plan.
3
In the case of any subsequent police services agreement other than one to which subsection (5) applies, the period specified must—
a
begin on 1 April, and
b
end on either the 31 March next following that day or on any subsequent 31 March specified in the plan.
4
Subsection (5) applies if—
a
there is a period during which an aerodrome security plan in force in relation to the aerodrome contains no policing measures (and, accordingly, the requirement in section 25B(1) does not apply in relation to the aerodrome), but
b
the plan is varied to include such measures.
5
The first police services agreement following the variation must—
a
begin on the day when the variation comes into effect (and, accordingly, the requirement in section 25B(1) again applies in relation to the aerodrome), and
b
end on either the 31 March next following that day or on any subsequent 31 March specified in the plan.
6
If there is a dispute about the policing of a relevant aerodrome which relates to a police services agreement which is not in force, the Secretary of State may direct that the agreement is to come into force at the beginning of a day other than that specified in subsection (2)(a), (3)(a) or (5)(a).
