Proceeding contribution from Dennis Skinner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 November 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate, Backbench debate and e-petition debate on Extradition.


Extradition

If we had a vote today, we would carry it, but of course we cannot have one because we are not in the main Chamber. I agree with my hon. Friends who have already expressed the view that we ought to have this debate in the House. The Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Deputy Leader of the House all commented when they were in opposition that they supported what we are here today to do. Therefore, let us get this debate into the main Chamber and then we can carry the vote if they will deliver.
