Mr. R. C. Mitchellasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether he will have discussions with the Government of the Republic of Ireland concerning the extradition of people wanted in the United Kingdom for terrorist offences.
§ Mr. HattersleyHer Majesty's Government are in frequent touch with the Government of the Republic of Ireland on matters of mutual interest affecting the enforcement of the criminal law. We consider that the first priority now should be the enactment and implementation of the reciprocal legislation which has been agreed between our two Governments for extending extra-territorial jurisdiction over fugitive offenders.
