Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what requests his Department received for Augusto Pinochet to
be interviewed; when he received such requests; and what factors he will take into account in responding to such requests. [56263]
Mr. Straw: Requests made by judicial and law enforcement authorities overseas for persons in the United Kingdom to be interviewed on
a voluntary basis in connection with criminal investigations or proceedings are made through the United Kingdom Central Bureau of
Interpol (Interpol London) at the National Criminal Intelligence Service and executed directly by the police or other law
enforcement agencies. Where such requests are made directly to the Home Office they are referred to the police to execute.
The 5th Central Magistrate's Court in Madrid contacted the Metropolitan Police via Interpol on 14 October.
Requests made by courts overseas for statements to be made on oath or to be conducted before a judicial authority in England and
Wales are made directly or indirectly to the Home Office. The Secretary of State may, if he thinks fit, nominate a court in England
and Wales under section 4 of the Criminal Justice (International Co-operation) Act 1990 to receive such of the evidence requested as
the court considers appropriate for the purpose of executing the request.
On 19 October, Interpol London received a request for Augusto Pinochet to make a statement. The request was made under the 1959
European Convention for Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters, for which the Home Secretary is the designated United Kingdom Central
Authority.
As the Secretary of State I will consider whether the request is for evidence to be taken before a court in England and Wales and
one for which the exercise of his powers under section 4 of the 1990 Act would be appropriate. If the Secretary of State considers
the request is not one for which the nomination of the court would be appropriate, or the requesting authority clarifies that a
voluntary statement would be sufficient for its purpose, the request will be passed to the Metropolitan Police to execute.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what arrangements are in place for notification of the UK
authorities by other countries of sex offences committed by UK citizens within their jurisdiction. [23113]
Mr. Michael: [holding answer 15 January 1998]:
While there is no formal requirement for other countries to notify us of convictions of British citizens, I understand that existing
arrangements via the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) work well. These allow Interpol member countries, of
which there are 178 throughout the world, to use the Interpol Notice system to notify criminal activities of citizens to national
authorities.
Interpol International Notices are circulated to all member countries via the Automated Search Facility (ASF) and give the identity
particulars, physical description and, where possible, the fingerprints and photograph of an individual.
The Interpol Green Notice is used to seek information on people who have committed or are likely to commit offences affecting
several countries and are often used to exchange information on travelling paedophiles. With 178 Interpol member countries,
including the principal sex-tourism destinations, this offers an effective and efficient method of information exchange.
It is our policy to encourage the use of the system to inform preventive strategies for the protection of children and vulnerable
adults. It is also out intention to use this system to ensure that the proposed Sex Offenders Orders can be used to maximum effect
against sex offenders convicted abroad.
