Home Office written question – answered at on 8 September 2016.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it is the Government's policy that anti-terrorism cooperation under the Schengen Agreement should continue after the UK leaves the EU.
Cooperation against terrorism between the UK and European Union Member States has continued following the referendum. We continue to participate in those parts of the Schengen Agreement that relate to law enforcement cooperation, including the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II).
Officials are exploring options for future cooperation arrangements once the UK has left the European Union. We will do what is necessary to keep people safe, but it would be wrong to set out unilateral positions in advance of negotiations.
