§ Mr. Ernie Rossasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many customs staff are employed at Dundee; and if he is satisfied that their numbers are adequate to deal with increased activity at the port of Dundee.
§ Mr. Brooke[pursuant to his reply, 30 January 1987]: For operational reasons it is not policy to disclose the numbers of customs staff employed at specific locations.
The staffing at Dundee is regularly reviewed and an assessment made of the risks having regard to variations in traffic. The fixed staff are supported by mobile teams and specialist staff who are organised on a regional basis.
