The JATF comprises Law Enforcement Agencies from across the island of Ireland is focussed on tackling border criminality and HMRC are active participants in both the strategic oversight and operational groups. HMRC also play a proactive role in the Organised Crime Task Force, chairing the Cross Border Fuel Fraud Group and also co-chair a Cross Border Excise Fraud Group.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 25/04/2018 12:55:42 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
