Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, how many meetings (a) he, (b) Ministers and (c) officials of his Department have had with Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland in the past twelve months on cross border security arrangements after 29 March 2019.

The Secretary of State for Exiting the EU met with the Police Service of Northern Ireland on 2 November, and was accompanied by the Deputy Chief Constable on a visit to the border. The former Secretary of State also met with the former Assistant Chief Constable with the Police Service of NI, who accompanied him on a tour of the border, to see first hand the concerns of citizens and businesses relating to the border.

I have been receiving regular updates from officials on the progress of the border issue and remain committed to agreeing a mutually advantageous deal with the EU. It is a key part of these negotiations that we deliver for the people of Northern Ireland.
