Lord Hanson of Flint (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 15 June 2026

Debate

Immigration: Eurodac and SIS II

Contribution

Absolutely. I can even recall a time when a UK citizen was head of Europol and worked in co-operation with our European partners to reduce transnational crime. When we had access to SIS II between 2015 and 2020, we had access to those police records; they were lost at Brexit. I am not going to revisit the Brexit debate. We all voted our different ways—but I know which way I voted, and which way has proved to be right in the long term. Ultimately, we will do what we can to get closer co-operation to achieve the objectives that the noble Lord has outlined.
