Proceeding contribution from Joan Ryan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.

Police and Justice Bill

I will give way in a moment. We have before us a better and faster approach to extradition. Among the provisions was secondary legislation to designate those countries that do not need prima facie evidence. Those countries, some of which I have listed, are in category 2 for extradition consideration. As regards the removal of the prima facie requirement, that was possible long before the 2003 Act came into force. The possibility dates back to when the Opposition were in Government in 1991, when the UK became an active party to the European convention on extradition.
