The Government’s chaotic approach to the Brexit negotiations risks threatening our safety – Blomfield

Paul Blomfield MP,
Labour’s Shadow Minister for Exiting the EU, commenting on the House of Lords EU
Committee report on Brexit: the EU data protection package, said:

“Labour has
repeatedly raised concerns about security information and data sharing, which
we heavily rely on to investigate and prevent terrorism. 

“It’s
clear that the Government has no idea what maintaining close criminal justice
and law enforcement ties with our European neighbours will look like, and no
plan to make data sharing work.

“The
Government’s chaotic approach to the Brexit negotiations and intransigent red
line on the European Court of Justice, meaning we could crash out without a
deal on anything, risks threatening our safety.”
