Proceeding contribution from Alan Johnson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 December 2009. It occurred during Urgent question on Gary McKinnon (Extradition).

Gary McKinnon (Extradition)

At the risk of repeating myself, let me say that I will not look at all the medical evidence again. I have already looked at it; that is why the hon. Member for Enfield, Southgate has laid an urgent question in the House. Secondly, it is the job of the Director of Public Prosecutions to decide whether, and where, to prosecute. That has been upheld in the courts, and on 31 July the High Court refused permission to go to judicial review. That issue has now gone; the only issue left is whether extradition would breach Mr. McKinnon's human rights.
