Extradition: USA
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the (a) compliance of the Government of the United States with the 2003 UK-US extradition treaty and (a) effectiveness of that treaty for UK purposes.
- Answer
-
The UK-US extradition treaty is fair and balanced. The United States is fully compliant with its obligations under the treaty and it is effective for the purpose of extraditing wanted persons to the UK.
Where someone in the UK is wanted by any country, the courts are able to exercise appropriate scrutiny over any request.
