The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much funding her Department plans to allocate to the Border Security Command in each of the next three financial years.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

We are exploring appropriate funding options and models for the new Border Security Command (BSC) moving forward. More detail on the costing will be available after a spending review.

We are working closely with stakeholders including operational partners to determine how much funding will be needed to achieve the objectives of the BSC, ensuring that value for money is achieved for taxpayers. We will smash the gangs – disrupting the supply chain of their boats and engines and prosecuting those responsible.
