The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what level of access the Sovereign Base Area police in Cyprus has to Interpol databases.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Sovereign Base Area police in Cyprus do not have direct access to INTERPOL databases. Access to INTERPOL databases is facilitated through the UK’s INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), which sits within the National Crime Agency (NCA).
