HC Deb 16 May 1963 vol 677 cc182-3W
Q13. Mr. Paget

asked the Prime Minister, in view of his stated policy that Enahoro would not be returned to Nigeria if there was doubt or question of the death penalty being enforceable there and that he would not be returned without a definite undertaking from Nigeria that no charge carrying the death penalty would be laid, what action he is taking in view of the judgment of the Lord Chief Justice that since this is not a case under the Extradition Act where the court only grants extradition for the charges actually preferred, Nigeria is fully entitled to prefer any additional charges, and of the refusal by the Nigerian Government to give any undertakings.

The Prime Minister

I have nothing to add to what my right hon. Friend the Home Secretary and my hon. and learned Friend the Attorney-General said in the debate last night.
