Drug Seizures: Organised Crime
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Class A drugs have been seized from organised crime in the last 12 months.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The most recent figures on Class A drug seizures are available in the Seizures of Drugs in England and Wales, financial year ending 2024 statistical release. This publication reports the total number of Class A drug seizures made by police forces and Border Force in England and Wales.
Additional data on Class A seizures made by Border Force are published quarterly as part of the Border Force transparency data. These figures cover England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland combined.
It is not possible to disaggregate these data to identify seizures specifically related to organised crime.
