Drugs Intelligence Unit Closure

EDM number 445 in 1998-99, proposed by Colin Breed on 17/03/1999.

That this House regrets the decision of Her Majesty's Government to close the Drug Dog Unit and the Customs Intelligence Team Unit at Plymouth; notes that over the past five years these units have made a valuable contribution in preventing more than ú35 million of drugs entering Britain; and expresses the hope that the Government will reverse this decison, which will leave the region's other dog detection units over-stretched and the entire region vulnerable.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
