Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) 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

My constituent, Mr. Crook, is subject to extradition proceedings and is awaiting trial in the United States, but he protests his innocence. He has already had to sell his home to raise bail money. He has lost his living in this country—his job is gone. Does my hon. Friend agree that, under the treaty, such people are guilty until proved innocent?
