Justice and Home Affairs Opt-out

Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 April 2014. It occurred during Debate on Justice and Home Affairs Opt-out.

I must say to the hon. Lady that we do not think that it is a muddle to have co-operation with European police forces to bring criminals to justice and to provide victims with justice. I know that the Fresh Start group, of which she is a leading member, thought that we should replace all of this with a new international treaty. The Chair of the European Scrutiny Committee and many Government Back Benchers wanted to opt out and stay out of everything. The last time we debated the subject, a queue of Members stood up to say how much they wanted us to opt out and stay out of not just the European arrest warrant but all the major measures.
