We have information from several operators that 250Kts is an economical descent speed and that various aircraft types might be flying at it in the descent, something which we might need to take account of in our separation plans. Operators of the same aircraft types might not all do it however.

Fly what you want to, and if ATC need a specific speed, it's up to us to specify it.
