answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2016 answer text <p>As set out in the Government’s White Paper on the process for withdrawing from the European Union, our arrangements for future cooperation under measures such as the European Arrest Warrant, the European Criminal Records Information System and the Schengen Information System would be brought into question. Aside from those States that are not in the EU but are in the Schengen border-free area, there are no precedents for non-Members being able to cooperate with these mechanisms fully outside the EU. We would also lose our status as a full member of Europol.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 24/05/2016 13:54:58 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2016 answer text The Government believes that the UK will be stronger, safer and better off remaining in a reformed EU. That way, the UK can play a leading role in one of the world’s largest organisations. Membership of the EU, like our membership of NATO and the UN, amplifies, not diminishes, the UK’s influence in the world. answering member constituency Runnymede and Weybridge answering member printed Mr Philip Hammond question first answered 24/05/2016 16:02:41 answering member 105 label Biography information for Lord Hammond of Runnymede

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2016 answer text <p>As a leading member of the EU, the UK is a major influence on EU external policy and is able to shape the use of the EU’s available policy tools to enhance our security: for example, sanctions policy in respect of Russia and Iran and capacity building support to the states of the Western Balkans. I am in no doubt that Britain’s leading role in this process greatly contributes to the effectiveness of EU policy initiatives and thus maintaining peace and stability in Europe and beyond. All of that would be lost if Britain were to leave the European Union. I am clear that Britain is stronger, safer more prosperous inside the EU than it would be outside.</p> answering member constituency Runnymede and Weybridge answering member printed Mr Philip Hammond question first answered 24/05/2016 16:06:15 answering member 105 label Biography information for Lord Hammond of Runnymede

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/05/2016 answer text <p>The decision in the forthcoming referendum is one for the British people alone to make. In the nearly 2 years I have been Foreign Secretary, I have visited over 70 different countries in 6 continents – and in no single one of them have I been told that Britain’s influence would be greater if it were not a member of the EU. On the contrary whether in China, in the USA, in Australia, in Nigeria, Britain is seen as more influential because of its membership of the EU. We get two bites of the cherry: Britain’s is a strong and influential voice in its own right; but it is also the voice of a leading Member State of the world’s largest economic block. Membership of the EU does not diminish Britain’s influence; it enhances it – and I speak from personal experience.</p> answering member constituency Runnymede and Weybridge answering member printed Mr Philip Hammond question first answered 24/05/2016 15:48:56 answering member 105 label Biography information for Lord Hammond of Runnymede
