The below Parliamentary question was asked by Luciana Berger on 2014-07-15.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much her Department spent on its tackling tobacco smuggling strategy in (a) 2011-12 and (b) 2012-13.

James Brokenshire

The Tackling Tobacco Strategy in its current form came into force in April 2011. Customs operations target a range of commodities, including those covered by this strategy, and our officers and equipment are deployed to cover a range of activities. We do not therefore hold information relating specifically to tobacco.
