HL Deb 07 May 1998 vol 589 cc90-1WA
Lord Stoddart of Swindon

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Who at present constitute the managing board of Europol; and to whom is any United Kingdom person so appointed responsible (a) within the European Union and (b) the United Kingdom. [HL1667]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

The management board of Europol will not be appointed until the convention comes into force, which is expected to be in autumn this year. No United Kingdom appointment to the management board has yet been made. Any such appointee will be responsible to the Home Secretary in the United Kingdom. The management board as a whole will be responsible to the Council of Ministers.
