The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has received any representations from the Public and Commercial Services Union regarding the implications which the closure of Her Majesty's Customs and Excise Collection and Co-ordination Unit in Paisley would have for devolved matters, in particular the tackling of the drugs problem, and whether it has made any representations to Her Majesty's Government regarding any such implications.
The answer
No representations have been received. The Scottish Executive is in regular contact with the UK Government on a range of subjects. HM Customs and Excise have sought to give assurances that a reduction in the number of Collection and Co-ordination Units would have no affect on the ability of HM Customs and Excise to mount anti-drugs operations in Scotland.
