To aid in international dissemination of information, a seconded national expert to Europol to coordinate activity between UK law enforcement and European counterparts during cross-border investigations has been implemented.</p> answering member printed Lord Keen of Elie question first answered 14/09/2018 10:57:19 answering member 4538 label Biography information for Lord Keen of Elie
