"The Government must decide on an all or nothing basis, whether or not to opt out of the pre-Lisbon Third Pillar “acquis” – a steady accretion of criminal law measures and institutions that deal with criminal matters that have over the last few years arrived in English law, such as the European Arrest Warrant, parts of the Schengen Agreement and much, much more. How would we manage without them?"
