Proceeding contribution from Michael Ellis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 5 December 2011. It occurred during Backbench debate on UK Extradition Arrangements.
UK Extradition Arrangements
No, I do not accept that. I agree with the Scott Baker report that there is no fundamental imbalance. It is important to point out that the United States has not denied a single extradition request from the United Kingdom under the treaty. Although the United States makes more requests to the United Kingdom than it receives, the difference is largely because the population of the United States is five times greater than that of the United Kingdom. There is no imbalance. The Scott Baker report confirms that, and I cannot support the motion.
