Extradition

Question: To ask Her Majesty's Government how many people have been extradited from the UK in each year since 2018.

Answer

The following represents the number of people extradited from the UK under Part 2 of the Extradition Act 2003:

YEAR	NUMBER
2018	16
2019	26
2020	21
2021 (APRIL)	5
TOTAL	68

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. The figures do not include Scotland, which deals with its own extradition cases.

Extraditions from the UK under Part 1 of the Extradition Act 2003 are handled by the National Crime Agency and statistics are published on their website:
