Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether European Arrest Warrants for (a) non-UK EU suspects in the UK and (b) UK suspects in the EU would be operable on the day after the UK leaves the EU in the absence of an agreement on security co-operation.

We are confident that continued, practical cooperation between the UK and EU on law enforcement and national security is in the interests of both sides, so we approach these negotiations anticipating success. We do not want or expect a no deal outcome.

The details of the UK’s future relationship with the EU, including our participation in mechanisms such as the European Arrest Warrant, will be subject to negotiation.

Public safety in the UK and the rest of Europe will be at the heart of our negotiations and we will address the issue of the European Arrest Warrant in that context.
