Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people are employed in the National Crime Agency in (a) England, (b) Scotland and (c) Wales.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) currently employs around 4,500 Officers, all of whom can be deployed across the United Kingdom.
Serious and organised criminals are not deterred by geographical boundaries. As such, this level of flexibility enables the NCA to respond to serious andorganised crime wherever it occurs, whilst respecting the devolution of powers and recognising the primacy of those in whose territories it operates.
