Extradition
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the levels of delays in the international extradition of individuals suspected of murder and other serious violent offences; and what steps her Department is taking to expedite extradition proceedings and reduce delays.
- Answer
-
This Government recognises the importance of robust extradition arrangements in creating a pathway to justice for all victims of crime. Extradition in the UK is very largely a judicial process, with strong legal safeguards and independent decision making. The Government works with operational and international partners to support effective extradition cooperation and ensure that individuals accused or convicted of serious offences can be surrendered to face trial or serve their sentence.
