HC Deb 05 March 1986 vol 93 c147W
Mr. Sedgemore

asked the Prime Minister if she will make representations to the Israeli Prime Minister to deport Mr. Harvey Michael Ross of Leeds to Britain for questioning by the fraud squad.

The Prime Minister

Our arrangements for securing the surrender from Israel of a fugitive criminal charged with or convicted of certain serious offences in this country are governed by the extradition treaty of 1960. I understand that the West Yorkshire police are looking into certain allegations made against Mr. Ross, but that they are not yet in a position to submit a report on the case to the Director of Public Prosecutions for the purpose of obtaining his instructions in the matter.
