§ Mr. CallaghanTo ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will make a statement on preparations for the control of drug trafficking at frontiers by 1995.
§ Sir John CopeControl of drug trafficking at frontiers is the primary responsibility of HM Customs and Excise. Customs' anti-smuggling controls are founded on selective, targeted checks, based on detailed risk assessment, intelligence and the use of indicators. These controls are regularly monitored and evaluated so as to maintain, and wherever possible enhance, their effectiveness, and to allow for refinement in response to changes in the threat posed to the United Kingdom.
