Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether his Department has received representations from the Police Service of Northern Ireland on the number of additional police officers that Service will require when the UK leaves the EU.

It is entirely responsible and appropriate that we prepare for every eventuality and my officials in the Home Office are working closely with policing colleagues, including with the Police Service of Northern Ireland, to determine the impact of EU Exit on policing and plan accordingly.
