Europol
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what discussions he has had with the (a) Prime Minister and (b) Home Secretary on the UK's participation in Europol after the UK has left the EU.
- Answer
-
The Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union has regular discussions with Cabinet colleagues on matters relating to the UK exiting the European Union. As the Prime Minister set out in her speech, one of the objectives for the negotiations ahead is to continue practical cooperation with the EU to tackle cross-border crime and to keep our people safe. We want to agree a deep and special partnership taking in both economic and security cooperation to fight terrorism and uphold justice across Europe. The safety of the British public is a top priority and security is enhanced through cooperating with Europe.
As part of the negotiations, we will discuss with the EU and Member States how best to continue cooperation on a range of issues, including Europol and Eurojust.
