§ Mr. Proctorasked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs (1) with which countries Her Majesty's Government are currently negotiating to establish extradition agreements;
(2) what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government with regard to the establishment of extradition arrangements with other countries where they do not currently exist;
(3) which countries have approached Her Majesty's Government since May 1979 with regard to the establishment of extradition treaties; and with what results.
§ Mr. WhitneyWe are willing to enter into a bilateral extradition arrangement where there is known to be a significant requirement and the legislative, judicial and penal practices of the two countries are broadly equivalent. Since May 1979 proposals for the conclusion of extradition treaties have been received from Morocco, Tunisia and the United Arab Emirates. Since, however, the conditions described were not fully met in respect of these countries, no treaties were concluded. The only country with which we are currently holding discussions with a view to concluding a new treaty is Spain.
