Lord Stoddart of Swindon – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Home Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Stoddart of Swindon on 2016-10-10.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the European Arrest Warrant system will cease to have legal force in the UK following Brexit.

Baroness Williams of Trafford

We are leaving the EU but co-operation on security with our European and global allies will be undiminished.

Officials are exploring options for cooperation arrangements once the UK has left the EU. We will do what is necessary to keep people safe, but it would be wrong to set out our position in advance of negotiations.
