Narrative:
While on the ILS runway 25L, at approximately 3000 ft, the air carrier captain behind us was instructed by socal approach to keep us visual and to stay behind us. At approximately 2800 ft, we received a TCASII TA, followed closely with an RA restricting the vertical descent on the ILS. The RA was followed as aircraft passed under and slightly to the right of us. After the RA, we were able to come down and recapture the ILS and proceeded to land on runway 25L, while keeping the aircraft landing on runway 25R in sight. Lax tower agreed that aircraft was told not to pass us. I called the approach controller and he also said he was told to keep a visual and to stay behind.

Title: A320 FLT CREW TAKE TCASII RA ACTION TO REMAIN CLR OF CLOSE TRANSITIONING COMMUTER ON APCH TO LAX RWY 25R, AS A320 CONTINUES APCH TO LAND ON RWY 25L.
Narrative: WHILE ON THE ILS RWY 25L, AT APPROX 3000 FT, THE ACR CAPT BEHIND US WAS INSTRUCTED BY SOCAL APCH TO KEEP US VISUAL AND TO STAY BEHIND US. AT APPROX 2800 FT, WE RECEIVED A TCASII TA, FOLLOWED CLOSELY WITH AN RA RESTRICTING THE VERT DSCNT ON THE ILS. THE RA WAS FOLLOWED AS ACFT PASSED UNDER AND SLIGHTLY TO THE R OF US. AFTER THE RA, WE WERE ABLE TO COME DOWN AND RECAPTURE THE ILS AND PROCEEDED TO LAND ON RWY 25L, WHILE KEEPING THE ACFT LNDG ON RWY 25R IN SIGHT. LAX TWR AGREED THAT ACFT WAS TOLD NOT TO PASS US. I CALLED THE APCH CTLR AND HE ALSO SAID HE WAS TOLD TO KEEP A VISUAL AND TO STAY BEHIND.
