Extradition: USA

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many British citizens have been extradited to the US under the US-UK extradition treaty since 2010; and how many US citizens have been extradited to the UK under that treaty in the same period.

Answer

Since the start of 2010 the UK has extradited 35 British citizens (including dual nationals) from the UK to the USA, over the same time period the US has extradited 8 US nationals (including dual nationals) to the UK.

Of those arrested for the purposes of extradition to the US since 1 January 2010, 50 individuals (of all nationalities) have been extradited (up to and including 3 November 2015).

All figures are from local management information, and have not been quality assured to the level of published National Statistics. As such they should be treated as provisional and therefore subject to change.
