Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many Border Force officers are deployed in Northern Ireland.

As an intelligence-informed organisation, Border Force do not disclose specific details regarding the deployment of resources to individual border threats. This is to ensure the integrity of our operations, and avoid compromising the effectiveness of our security response, which is based upon real time intelligence and operational sensitivity.

Officers who work on the primary control ensure that all passengers are dealt with efficiently as possible to ensure border security.

We also use dynamic deployment to staff the immigration control when required.
