Proceeding contribution from Gwyneth Dunwoody (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police and Justice Bill.


Police and Justice Bill

I hope that I will not frighten my hon. and learned Friend if I say that I might not be with him—but what concerns me a little is the clarity of the situation. For the benefit of those of us who are non-lawyers, is he saying that if, for example, in a terrorism case there was insufficient evidence in this country to prosecute, but nevertheless within the United States there was suitable and convincing evidence that would allow people to prosecute, we should not be prepared to let that person be extradited?
