Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Maginnis of Drumglass (Ulster Unionist Party). It was answered by Lord Wallace of Saltaire (Liberal Democrat) on Wednesday, 23 March 2011.


Extradition: Gary McKinnon

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what recent discussions they have had with the Government of the United States about the extradition of Gary McKinnon.
Answer

My Lords, we regularly discuss a range of extradition matters with the United States authorities, who are anxious to see a conclusion to Mr McKinnon’s case. However, further consideration has been delayed because my right honourable friend the Home Secretary wishes, before deciding the case, to obtain an up-to-date assessment by medical experts recommended to her by the Chief Medical Officer, and Mr McKinnon has not yet granted medical consent for this to take place.
