Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many seizures of (a) tobacco, (b) alcohol and (c) drugs were made by UK Border Force staff from small boat traffic at UK ports in each year since 2010; and what the value of those seizures was.

The Home Office records these categories of seizures in various ways. To obtain an accurate record of how many seizures of this type were made at the border could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
