Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether he plans for the UK to continue to cooperate on justice and policing under the Schengen Agreement after the UK leaves the EU; and if he will make a statement.

We are proposing an ambitious strategic agreement with the EU that provides a comprehensive framework for our future security, law enforcement and criminal justice cooperation that delivers the capabilities our operational partners need to keep our people safe.

Our proposals are set out in “Security, Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice – a future partnership paper” which was published on 18 September, available on the gov.uk website at:
