The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 23 June 2026 to Question 9308 on Undocumented Migrants: Boats, which contractors are used by Border Force for the disposal of seized small boats and associated equipment, and how much has been paid to those contractors in each of the last five years.

Answered by Alex Norris

The Home Office holds information relevant to this question; however, further detail cannot be disclosed as this relates to commercially sensitive arrangements and release would be likely to prejudice the commercial interests of the Home Office and third parties.
