EU Exit Negotiations
"It should come as no surprise that Dublin and the Irish Government wish to advance their interests. The aggressive and anti-Unionist way in which they have gone about doing so is disgraceful. It has set back Anglo-Irish relations and damaged the relationships built up within Northern Ireland in relation to …..."Lord Dodds of Duncairn - View Speech

Written Question
Tuesday 7th November 2017
Asked by:
Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party - Life peer)
Question
to the Department for Exiting the European Union :
To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what plans he has to consult (a) the PSNI, (b) the Northern Ireland Department of Justice and (c) other bodies in Northern Ireland on the proposals contained in his Department's future partnership paper on security, law enforcement and criminal justice, published on 18 September 2017.
Answered by Robin Walker
We are committed to securing a deal that works for the entire United Kingdom, including Northern Ireland. We have been clear from the start that the devolved administrations should be fully engaged in this process. For the future partnership paper on security, law enforcement and criminal justice, both the Department for Exiting the European Union and the Home Office have engaged at an official level with the Northern Ireland Civil Service, in the absence of a Northern Ireland Executive.
We are committed to positive and productive engagement with the devolved administrations, including a restored Northern Ireland Executive, as we take forward this important work. We are also determined to hear from as many organisations, companies and institutions as possible to build a national consensus around our negotiating position.
