The noble Baroness, Lady Ludford, with the support of the noble Lord, Lord German, who is in Strasbourg today, has tabled an amendment to require the Border Security Commander to meet the director of Europol or their delegate every six months. The Border Security Commander has already worked very strongly in co-operation with international bodies, including Europol. The very conference a couple of weeks ago that the noble Baroness made reference to was part of our reset proposals with the European Union, and the issue of national security, border security, was key within that discussion.
