Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of the 27 June to Question 779, how her Department plans to ensure that UK intelligence stays connected to Europe's counter terror operations after the UK leaves the EU.

The​ ​UK​ ​will​ ​continue​ ​to​ ​work​ ​with​ ​the​ ​EU​ ​to​ ​preserve​ ​UK​ ​and​ ​European​ ​security, and​ ​to​ ​fight​ ​terrorism​ ​and​ ​uphold​ ​justice​ ​across​ ​Europe.​ ​The​ ​safety​ ​of​ ​the​ ​British public​ ​is​ ​a​ ​top​ ​priority.

We have proposed a bold new strategic partnership with the EU, including a comprehensive agreement to support security, law enforcement and criminal justice co-operation after we leave the EU.

Our EU cooperation is part of a wider landscape of international counter terrorism work, which includes cooperation through relationships such as Interpol, the Five Eyes, and bilateral work with individual countries.
