Can I transit through UK using Business Visitor Visa?

OK ... I got this reply from UK Immigration and Visas Enquiry:
"If you intend to both visit and transit the UK, you should apply for both a transit and a visitor category UK visa, as per your purpose of coming to the UK. Please, be advised that you must be holding a valid UK visa fit for your purpose of coming to the UK to be able to enter or transit the UK."

You only need one kind of visa, and the one you need will be determined by the purpose of your visit to the UK.
If your previous Business Visit visa has not yet expired, you can use that to safely transit.
On your outbound journey (UAE to Columbia), you'll need a DATV (airside transit visa) if you are transiting through the same airport and are not going to stay at the airport for more than 24 hours.
If you are changing airports, or your transit window is greater than 24 hours, you'll need a Visitor In Transit visa.
The same applies to you on your return journey.
