Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many internal reports were made of discrepancies in bulk-seized excise goods arriving at Queen's Warehouses in each year since 2010.
This question was answered on 5th January 2015
Internal reports of discrepancies in bulk seized excise goods arriving at both Queens’s Warehouses are produced on a monthly basis. From 2010 to date there have been 59 reports and these cover seizures made by Border Force and HM
Revenue & Customs.
Where discrepancies are identified recounts are undertaken by Border Force on the arrival of the goods at the Queens Warehouse to ensure an accurate tally.
