Police: Manpower

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many police officers are working at each port of entry on the UK border.
Answer

Police personnel statistics are not collected within the Home Office by UK ports, but rather by police force authorities in England and Wales only. Following consultation with ACPO, data regarding police officers whose primary function is "ports" is, under section (31) Law Enforcement of the Freedom of Information Act, withheld from the public domain as disclosure may be likely to prejudice the prevention or detection of crime.
