Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 8 October 2018 to Question 176429 on Police, what meetings he has held with (a) the Strategic Lead at the National Police Coordination Centre and (b) the National Police Chiefs Council lead for contingencies, planning and coordination on the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

Further to my answer to your previous question UIN 176429; my officials in the Home Office are working closely with the National Police Co-ordination Centre (NPoCC) and with the National Police Chiefs Council (NPCC) to determine the impact of EU Exit on policing and plan accordingly.

It is entirely responsible and appropriate that we prepare for every eventuality and we will continue to work closely with our policing partners on contingency planning to ensure the safety and security of our citizens.
