Oral Answers to Questions

Lady Hermon Excerpts

Wednesday 20th June 2018 Commons Chamber

[Mr Vara]

My hon. Friend is absolutely correct. We need to have a comprehensive economic agreement with the European Union. That is possible, and I very much hope that all parties will work towards it.

[Lady Hermon (North Down) (Ind)]

In recent discussions with the political parties in Northern Ireland, was the issue of the European arrest warrant raised? Will the Secretary of State come to the House and make a statement on the serious implications for the Police Service of Northern Ireland if the availability of the European arrest warrant were closed down to the Chief Constable?

[Mr Speaker]

In relation to the border.

[Lady Hermon]

indicated assent.

[Mr Speaker]

Indeed. I am grateful for that nod from a sedentary position, which is very reassuring.
