asked Her Majesty’s Government:

What was the outcome of discussions with the Government of Israel on the United Kingdom Government’s plans to amend current legislation on international arrest warrants. [HL7116]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office

We have explained to the Israeli Government that the Home Office has been considering a range of issues relating to the issuing of arrest warrants in international cases. Any proposals for amending the current legislation would be a matter for Parliament.
