The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the in-year budget for the Border Security Command is for 2024-25.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

The Home Secretary announced on 17 September up to £75 million in new investment for the Border Security Command. This will deliver cutting edge new technology, extra officers and further covert capabilities across the system. The BSC will be appropriately resourced to ensure we can disrupt organised criminal gangs and respond to a range of threats to border security.
