To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make a statement on the extradition treaty signed with the United States on 31 March. [119031]
Caroline Flint
The United States is our biggest single extradition partner so I am delighted that it has been possible to reach agreement on a new extradition treaty which modernises the 1977 and 1986 treaties. We hope that it will be possible to bring the new treaty into effect later this year.
