Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (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

The Deputy Leader of the House is shaking his head. If he has other statistics, I will be happy to give way to him. The Government have a problem. The Conservative party and the Liberal Democrats made a series of commitments when they were in opposition to change the treaty to ensure that Gary McKinnon would not be sent to the United States of America. As I understand it, the Government were going to rely on the Baker review, but that review has provided exactly the opposite answer to what they expected.
