Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 June 2026

Debate

Immigration: Eurodac and SIS II

Contribution

We are not going to leave the ECHR under this Government, and the noble Lord knows that. Other parties can speak for themselves. Indeed, other parties have spoken for themselves, in getting us into this difficult position in the first place. There is a question about Eurodac, of which I think the noble Lord will be aware, in that it requires EU legislation, because EU legislation currently prohibits the sharing of Eurodac data with third countries. That is a difficult thing that we have to overcome, but it is vital that we try to get back as much of that data as possible. As the noble Lord, Lord Hannay, said, it is in everybody’s interests to share data, because criminality and immigration abuse are transnational.
