Those ambitions did not meet the ambitions that I had pre the Brexit agreement, but we are in a position now to discuss with our colleagues in Europol on a regular basis how we can secure additional co-operation on these very important matters. It is a challenge, however, for the UK Government to say, via the Border Security Commander, that Europol must meet with the UK Government on a six-monthly basis. That is not directly within our gift, but I assure the noble Baroness and the noble Lord, Lord German, who is not in his place, that the purpose of the Border Security Commander will be to look at how we utilise the resources of Europol to meet the challenges that we face.
