Question to the Department for Exiting the European Union :

To ask the Secretary of State for Exiting the European Union, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the priority to be accorded to future cooperation with law enforcement agencies in the EU during negotiations on the UK leaving the EU.

The Secretary of State and I have regular discussions with Cabinet colleagues on this issue. The safety of the British public is a top priority. As the PM has made clear, one of the twelve objectives for the negotiations ahead will be to establish a new relationship which enables the UK and EU to continue practical cooperation with other Member States to tackle cross-border crime and to keep our people safe.
