To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the case for an extradition treaty between the United Kingdom and Pakistan.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the case for an extradition treaty between the United Kingdom and Pakistan.
The Government will neither confirm nor deny whether it is considering or is involved in negotiations with a particular country over an extradition treaty.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reasons Terence McCormick and Patrick Maguire have not been extradited from the US to face questioning in relation to the murder of Captain Robert Nairac.
As a matter of long-standing policy and practice, the Government will neither confirm nor deny the existence of an extradition request made or received by this country before an arrest is made pursuant to such a request.
This is in order to prevent the subject of a request learning about it in advance, and giving them the opportunity to evade justice by leaving the jurisdiction or otherwise seeking to avoid arrest.
The Home Office does not initiate extradition requests. Extradition requests to countries outside the European Union are prepared by the relevant prosecuting authority and the police. They are then sent to the Home Office to seal and certify, and for transmission to the relevant State. Extradition may only be requested where a person is accused or convicted of an offence.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the compliance of United Kingdom extradition procedures with human rights regulations.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the compliance of United Kingdom extradition procedures with human rights regulations.
The United Kingdom’s extradition legislation has a number of safeguards in place to ensure that extradition would not result in a person suffering treatment which would be in breach of their human rights.
In determining whether to order extradition the District Judge must be satisfied that the person’s extradition is compatible with the Human Rights Act 1998 as set out in section 21 (Part 1) and section 87 (Part 2) of the Extradition Act 2003 (the 2003 Act).
In Part 2 of the 2003 Act, particular safeguards ensure that people are not extradited and suffer a breach of their human rights. The District Judge must decide whether any of the statutory bars to extradition apply. These bars include whether an extradition request was made for the purpose of prosecuting or punishing the person on account of his race, religion, nationality, gender, sexual orientation or political opinion. Furthermore, the forum bar, introduced in the Crime and Courts Act 2013, sets out that if a substantial measure of the offence in question was performed in the UK, extradition must be barred.
In addition, in ordering extradition, the Secretary of State must consider whether extradition is prohibited because he or she could face the death penalty. This is an absolute prohibition and may require a written assurance from the requesting state that the death penalty will not be imposed, or will not be carried out, if imposed.
Finally, a person may raise human rights on appeal, with at present, a right to appeal to the High Court and on to the Supreme Court. There is also the possibility of human rights appeals being brought late under section 108 of the 2003 Act.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government how many individuals were extradited from the United Kingdom in each of the last two years; and for each year what were the nationalities of those individuals.
The information is set out in the tables attached. Extradition to and from EU Member States is governed by the European Arrest Warrant (EAW). This is operated by the National Crime Agency, who have provided the separate figures for EAWs. Extradition to and from other territories is dealt with by the Home Office.
The figures apply to England, Wales and Northern Ireland only. Scotland deals with its own extradition cases.

I hope the noble Lord will forgive me; I missed his last question because I was seeking clarification on something. If he would like to repeat it, that would be very helpful, or I could write to him.
