UK Border Force: Staff

Asked by Ben GoldsboroughLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 10 September 2025UIN 74600

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Border Force staff have been allocated to fast parcels in each of the last 10 financial years.

Answered by Mike Tapp

As an intelligence-informed organisation, Border Force do not disclose specific details regarding the deployment of resources to individual border threats. This is to ensure the integrity of our operations, and avoid compromising the effectiveness of our security response, which is based upon real time intelligence and operational sensitivity.
