Extradition

Tom Brake
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs with which countries the UK is discussing extradition arrangements; and if he will make a statement.

Meg Hillier
I have been asked to reply.

The Government continue to keep their extradition relations with other states under review. Communications with foreign governments are confidential in order to preserve the confidence of the other state. This includes negotiations on potential extradition treaties.
