HC Deb 10 June 2004 vol 422 c552W
Mr. Paice

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many Port Health Authority officials were employed at UK(a) seaports and (b) airports in each of the last five years. [177156]

Miss Melanie Johnson

The requirement for employing Port Health Authority (PHA) officials at seaports and airports rests with local authorities who are responsible for port health work. The number of PHA officials is determined by the local authorities, and their numbers are not held centrally.
