§ Mrs. Renée Shortasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he is satisfied that enough manpower is being deployed to prevent the smuggling of heroin into the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. HayhoeYes. The investigation and prevention of drug smuggling is given high priority by Her Majesty's Customs and Excise. Greater emphasis is now placed on mobile and flexible, rather than static, controls, and the numbers of specialist drugs investigation officers have been increased. I will, of course, continue to keep the position under close review.
