Home Affairs Committee to take evidence on preparations for Brexit

In July the Home Affairs Committee launched a new inquiry to examine the state of Home Office preparations for Brexit in all scenarios. This work continues the Committee's scrutiny of Government readiness across customs operations, security co-operation and citizens' rights in the event of a no-deal exit from the European Union.

This first oral evidence session will enable the Committee to examine the impact of a no-deal Brexit on policing and security. It will also allow the Committee to examine in detail the implications of a no-deal Brexit on policing and security in Northern Ireland and the preparations made so far to address them.
