EU Justice and Home Affairs Measures

Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 19 November 2014. It occurred during Opposition day on EU Justice and Home Affairs Measures.

The point is that the European Union provides us with opportunities to be able better to fight crime and get justice for British citizens and citizens right across Europe. It is good that we can ensure that our police forces can co-operate more effectively with other police forces across Europe, whether they are dealing with trafficking, drug smuggling or child protection. There are so many crimes that cross borders and so many criminals who cross borders that we think it is a good thing to be part of Europe and to have the opportunity to work more closely with other European countries to deliver that.
