§ Mr. WrayTo ask the Prime Minister (1) if she will make a statement regarding the implications for United Kingdom national sovereignty and legal systems of the United States Supreme Court ruling of 1 March giving law enforcement agents power to act against non-United States of America nationals abroad without permission of the host country;
(2) what representations Her Majesty's Government made to the United States of America Administration regarding the ruling of the United States Supreme Court of 1 March giving United States law enforcement officers power to act against non-United States nationals abroad without permission of the host country.
§ The Prime Minister>The United Kingdom is aware of the judgment of the United States Supreme Court, given on 28 Februrary, in the case of a Mexican citizen.
The United Kingdom is studying the judgment, although at first sight it appears unlikely to affect the interests of this country. Her Majesty's Government have made it clear to the United States authorities that they do not accept that any foreign county has the right to exercise extra-territorial jurisdiction in the United Kingdom.
