The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the National Police Service's remit will include dealing with illegal tobacco and organized crime.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The National Police Service will lead the operational response to serious and organised crime.

We would expect that to include operational activity against illegal tobacco currently carried out by the National Crime Agency and the Regional Organised Crime Units.
