European Scrutinity

Asked if Prime Minister believed that more proposals on sentencing should be decided by QMV, the PMOS said that we had always said that we are prepared to look at where it is sensible to co-operate in Europe and there were areas, such as arrest warrants where it is in this country’s interests that we co-operate but equally we will retain the veto over issues where we don’t believe that to be the case. Each issue would be looked at issue-by-issue, rather than talking about it in a blanket way. Asked about an issue such as sentencing, which would come under these latest proposals, the PMOS said it was a hypothetical question and not a question about a detailed proposal.
