Immigration Controls: Customs Officers

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) airports, (b) ports and (c) train terminals had a dedicated Border Force customs team to deal with freight in each year since 2010.

Answer

The Home Office’s priority is to deliver a safe and secure border, Border Force maintain 100% checks for all scheduled arriving passengers into the UK and this will be continued during any period.

Border Force does not publish information on operational activities. Doing so would publicise operational practices which would be used to assist in the evasion of customs controls and compromise Border security.
