Descent cross over speed

A question for radar controllers.

We encourage our pilots to fly 'managed' speed on very low cost index figures, due to the ever increasing fuel prices. These managed speeds during the descent could mean an economy cross over speed of around M.76/255 kts.

Just asking for your comments regarding these slow speeds when descending into the UK from the South? to say LGW/BHX/MAN?

Many thanks in advance.
