Asked by: James McMurdock (Reform UK - South Basildon and East Thurrock)
Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to help prevent the provision of large dinghies to people smuggling gangs.
Answered by Angela Eagle - Minister of State (Home Office)
We are taking a whole-of-system approach to disrupt and dismantle the people smugglers’ business model. This includes working with international partners upstream to intercept material used by these criminal gangs, including dinghies and engines.
On Monday 4th November, the Prime Minister set out his plans to INTERPOL for people-smuggling to be viewed as a global security threat and announced an additional £75 million to boost UK border security, bringing the investment in the Border Security Command over the next two years to £150 million. This will provide additional specialist investigators, intelligence officers, and state of the art surveillance equipment to ensure those behind this criminal activity are brought to justice.
