Police and criminal justice: review of the balance of competences

The Foreign Secretary launched the balance of competences review in Parliament on 12 July 2012. This follows the coalition’s commitment to examine the balance of competences between the UK and the European Union. The review will provide an analysis of what the UK’s membership of the EU means for the UK national interest.

The Home Office and Ministry of Justice lead on the strand of the review covering police and criminal justice. This call for evidence was launched on 1 May 2014; it closed on 24 July 2014.
