<p>The Government’s position remains that leaving with a deal, which includes ambitious
internal security arrangements, is in the UK’s and EU’s best interests. If the UK
leaves the EU without a deal, then we would cease to cooperate through the EU’s internal
security tools and data systems upon exit.</p><p>The Home Office continues to work
closely with operational partners to ensure readiness for a range of possible exit
scenarios in October, including no deal. We have been working intensively with these
partners for some time to transition cooperation with EU Member States to alternative,
non-EU mechanisms, should that be needed in a no deal scenario. In the security and
law enforcement space, this would include making more use of Interpol, Council of
Europe Conventions and other forms of cooperation, such as bilateral channels.</p>
