Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will clarify the circumstances in which the UK will respect the remit of the European Court of Justice post-Brexit, as referred to in the Prime Minister's speech at the Munich Security Conference in February.

At the Munich Security Conference, the Prime Minister outlined her vision of the UK continuing to cooperate with the EU on security and law enforcement and proposed a new UK/EU treaty on internal security.

To be fully effective, this treaty must be respectful of both the UK and EU’s sovereign legal orders. For example, when participating in EU agencies the UK will respect the remit of the European Court of Justice and a principled but pragmatic solution will be needed to respect the UK's status as a third country with our own sovereign legal order.
