<p>The information is not held in the form requested.</p><p>The smallest amount of
revenue loss prevented in respect of individuals prosecuted between 2011/12 and 2014/15
is £162. The person prosecuted was a member of aircrew who attempted to bring 600
cigarettes into the UK without declaring them, thus attempting to evade the correct
excise duty on them. Aircrew are deemed to hold privileged positions due to their
unrestricted airport access and HM Revenue and Customs has a zero tolerance approach
to prosecution should they not declare dutiable goods when entering the UK.</p>
