§ 25. Mr. Stanbrookasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to which foreign countries Extradition Acts currently apply; which Commonwealth countries have been designated under the Fugitive Offenders Act 1967; which other territories have been so designated; and with which other countries negotiations are currently in existence with a view to extradition agreements being concluded.
§ Mr. LuardThere are 44 extradition treaties with foreign countries which are still regarded as being in force and I will, with permission circulate a list in theOfficial Report.
All independent Commonwealth countries have been designated for the purposes of Section 1 of the Fugitive Offenders Act 1967. No action to designate United Kingdom dependencies, as 192W defined in Section 2, is called for by the Act. I will also circulate in the Official Report a list of Commonwealth countries designated.
No new extradition treaties are being negotiated at the present time, but negotiations with Denmark and Italy for revised treaties to replace the old have been in progress for some time.
