Lord Harris of Haringey – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Harris of Haringey on 2016-10-18.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they intend to seek to remain a member of Europol following the UK’s departure from the EU.

Baroness Williams of Trafford

The Prime Minister has made clear that law enforcement cooperation with our European partners will continue after the UK leaves the EU we will do what is necessary to keep our people safe.

We value the role of Europol in helping law enforcement agencies coordinate investigations in cross border organised crime. We are exploring options for our relationship with Europol once the UK has left the EU but it is too early to speculate at this stage what future arrangments may look like.
