Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her policy is on future British membership of Europol.

The Prime Minister has made clear that law enforcement cooperation with our European partners will continue when the UK is outside the EU – we will do what is necessary to keep our people safe.

Europol, like all the other EU measures, will be subject to the wider UK and EU negotiations on post-Brexit arrangements. The Government will consider all available options for cooperation arrangements with Europol once the UK has left the EU, but it is too early to speculate on what those arrangements may be.
