The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many (a) operational and (b) support staff Border Security Command employs as of 1 January 2025.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

The Border Security Command (BSC) provides cross-system strategic leadership across partners in the border security system to tackle the facilitators of organised immigration crime (OIC) and wider border security threats.

The BSC is being appropriately resourced to ensure it can deliver this cross-system effort. Roles are being filled in line with departmental practices and wider recruitment is ongoing as part of the broader organisational set up.
