The Naval Service has an excellent relationship with the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority and the Customs service. The Customs service calls for assistance from the Naval Service and that is when it assists. Recently, and for several years, there have been several interceptions of large quantities of drugs by the Naval Service which does a brilliant job. I will give the Deputy the number of the Sea-Fisheries Protection Authority and can get back to him on how many times the Customs service has called out the Naval Service to assist it.
