Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answers of 10 January 2019 and 9 October 2018 to Questions 205811 and 173497, if he will publish a breakdown of the number of (a) full-time and (b) part-time staff at the National County Lines Coordination Centre.

The National County Lines Co-ordination Centre is a joint initiative be-tween the National Crime Agency and the National Police Chiefs’ Council, supported by £3.6m of Home Office funding. It is one of our key commitments set out in the Serious Violence Strategy.

The Centre is fully operational and has around 40 staff in post. The Home Of-fice is not involved in the set up and running of the Centre as it is an op-erational matter for the NCA and police, and does not hold information about staffing breakdown.
