European Union (Withdrawal) Act

Debate between Diane Abbott and Wayne David

Wednesday 5th December 2018 Commons Chamber

[Ms Abbott]

They could be continued—my point is that there is nothing definite in the deal that we are being presented with in the House that would make sure that they were continued. On the question of security, assertions, aspirations and a wishlist are not enough—we need a treaty.

[Wayne David (Caerphilly) (Lab)]

Last year, 183 people were returned to this country from other European countries to face justice under the European arrest warrant. Does my right hon. Friend share my concern that as things stand, that process will end?

[Ms Abbott]

I absolutely share that concern.
