The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of (a) funding for and (b) resourcing of Border Security Command.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

The Border Security Command (BSC) is enabling a step-change in how our full range of capabilities are coordinated, maximised and targeted on organised immigration crime and reducing irregular migration including through the investment of £150 million to provide new technology, capabilities and specialist officers tackling organised crime.

The funding and resourcing for the BSC are under constant review. This review process is crucial to ensure that value for money is achieved for taxpayers and the BSC is fulfilling its functions.
