SNP urges May to reveal talks over EU warrants

THE SNP has called on Theresa May to reveal what talks she has had with other European nations on her plans to pull out of EU arrest warrants.

The Home Secretary sparked concern among Scottish law enforcement officials when she said the UK was "minded" to retreat from crime-fighting agreements finalised under the Lisbon Treaty.

Senior police officers north of the Border fear her move, thought to be designed to assuage her party's Eurosceptic minority, could make it harder to extradite British criminals from Europe.
