asked the Attorney-General whether he will reconsider his decision not to seek to extradite Mr. Nevard from Australia to face legal charges following a road accident at Ten-penny Hill, Thorington in August 1974 when three people were killed; and, if not, why he considers this is not possible.

It was not open to the Director of Public Prosecutions to seek to extradite Mr. Nevard, since the offences with which he had been charged are not extradition crimes. It was not considered justified to prefer more serious charges solely in order to seek extradition.
