Brexit

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what contingency plans are in place for a situation in which no deal is reached with the EU on (a) extradition, (b) surveillance and (c) data exchange.

Answer

We are committed to ongoing cooperation with the EU on security and law enforcement. Our relationship with the EU will change as a result of leaving the EU but the details of our participation in practical cooperation measures that currently facilitate cooperation will be subject to negotiations.

It is too early to speculate at this stage what future arrangements may look like but we will do what is necessary to keep people safe.
