HC Deb 05 June 1980 vol 985 c788W
27. Mr. Straw

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will review the provision of resources allocated to the detection of drug trafficking.

Mr. Brittan

The resources allocated to the detection of drug trafficking are kept under review, both by chief officers of police and by the board of Her Majesty's Customs and Excise. Recent major drugs seizures have demonstrated the effectiveness of the efforts that are made in this field, as well as the need for continued vigilance.
