National Crime Agency: People Smuggling and Drug Dealing

Contribution

The first thing this Government did was to introduce Border Security Command. It works with the National Crime Agency, which is a United Kingdom agency that co-operates with agencies across the world to ensure that we can address these crime gangs. The gangs do not follow any borders or legitimate country controls, which is why we must have international co-operation. I stress that the expertise of the National Crime Agency is one of the best in the world and I am extremely proud of what it has been able to achieve.
