§ Mr. William Rossasked the Secretary of State for Scotland how many requests for the extradition of persons from Scotland to the Republic of Ireland have been received in each of the last five years, and how many of these requests have been (a) granted and (b) refused.
§ Lord James Douglas-HamiltonThe information is not available and cannot be obtained except at disproportionate cost. It is likely however that requests for the extradition of persons resident in Scotland from the Republic of Ireland have averaged two or three per annum and that all such requests have been granted.
