The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the (a) adequacy and (b) efficiency of the Border Force fleet.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

We always seek to ensure the adequacy and efficiency of the Border Force fleet. Working with key law enforcement partners, Border Force Maritime Command supports border security in the maritime arena. Domain awareness and the effective deployment of maritime assets to a variety of tasks is achieved in conjunction with the Joint Maritime Security Centre (JMSC). The efficacy of these operations is reviewed by senior Border Force staff on a monthly basis.
