HL Deb 21 May 2002 vol 635 c83WA
Lord Dixon-Smith

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What is the total annual cost to the police service for their involvement in preventing the smuggling of illegal drugs into the United Kingdom. [HL4254]

The Minister of State, Home Office (Lord Rooker)

I am afraid that the information is not available. The police do not distinguish between expenditure on drugs and other items.
