Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government why they have not yet responded to the report by the EU Justice Sub-Committee, <i>The UK’s opt-in Protocol: implications of the Government’s approach</i>, published on 24 March 2015; and when they plan to issue the response.

As a result of the referendum on the UK’s membership of the EU on 23 June, the Government is considering it’s approach to the application of the JHA Opt-in and will inform the Parliamentary Scrutiny Committees once the Government has completed its consideration.
