The below Parliamentary question was asked by Diana Johnson on 2016-09-06.

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what his policy is on future UK membership of Europol.

Mr Robin Walker

We are leaving the EU but co-operation on security with our European and global allies will be maintained. We will do what is necessary to keep our people safe – our aim will be to continue cooperation where it is in the national interest to protect the public. We are about to begin these negotiations and it would be wrong to set out unilateral positions in advance.
