Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what leadership the Border Security Command provides to (a) Border Force, (b) National Crime Agency, (c) Immigration Enforcement and (d) the police.

There are a number of different bodies that have a role in securing the UK border, including departments and agencies across Government and law enforcement. The Border Security Command is, for the first time, providing system leadership across those partners.

Specifically, in terms of operational partners, the Border Security Command is enabling a step-change in how our full range of capabilities are coordinated, maximised and targeted on immigration crime and reducing irregular migration including through the investment of £150 million to provide new technology, capabilities and specialist officers tackling organised crime.
