Proceeding contribution from Lord Bruce of Bennachie (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 July 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate and Emergency debate on UK-US Extradition Treaty.
UK-US Extradition Treaty
The hon. Gentleman is making an important point. Does he share my concern that the Solicitor-General, in quoting the district judge’s comment on the submissions made in this case, failed to point out—in relation to which the hon. Member for Henley (Mr. Johnson) understandably intervened with some anger—that the defendants had no right to challenge, test, explain or counter that evidence, which might well have been produced by those engaged in a plea bargain in the United States and could have been entirely false?
