British Labor Party Chairman Keir Starmer has warned that Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s deal on Brexit will leave “significant holes” in security.
He noted that leaving the European Union would mean losing the main database that British police now enter into more than 600 million times a year and shifting to slower, more bureaucratic arrangements.
He said that the deal “will mean major gaps in security and contain many flaws … But a thin deal is better than no deal.”
The British House of Commons today approved the draft free trade agreement that has been coordinated between the United Kingdom and the European Union for the post-Brexit period.
And 521 lawmakers voted in the council in favor of the draft agreement reached between London and Brussels earlier this month after difficult and long negotiations, against 73 votes against.
The 1,246-page document will be referred to the House of Lords (the upper house of the British Parliament), where it will be put to the vote at a later time in the day in order to enter into force, if adopted, starting around midnight.
