Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of whether the UK may be obliged to provide sensitive security or law enforcement information to EU evaluation teams under Joint Action 97/827/JHA if it opts back into that Joint Action after it has come under full CJEU jurisdiction.

A full assessment has been conducted on the sharing of advice and best practice between EU member states through Joint Action 97/827/JHA. Details of this assessment can be found in Command Paper 8897 https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/326698/41670_Cm_8897_Accessible.pdf), published on 3 July 2014.

Joint Action 97/827/JHA provides a forum in which to share advice and best practice on topics agreed between Member States. There are no obligations to share sensitive security or law enforcement information.
