Mr. Hague: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department

cooperation between British police forces and their counterparts
elsewhere in Europe.

Mr. Douglas Hogg: We attach great importance to closer
cooperation between police forces in tackling crime, and have
actively sought to strengthen bilateral links. My fight hon.
Friend recently signed an arrangement with France providing for
further practical cooperation on action against terrorism, drug
trafficking and organised crime. A similar arrangement was
signed with Italy earlier in the year. Further action is in hand
to improve bilateral and multilateral cooperation in a number of
areas including mutual legal assistance and extradition
arrangements, the exchange of drugs intelligence, exchange of
liaison officers, and the confiscation of drug traffickers'
assets; a bilateral drugs confiscation agreement with Spain was
signed recently.
