HC Deb 12 June 1991 vol 192 c540W
Mr. Trimble

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the persons who have been extradited for political offences since 1980(a) from Great Britain to the Republic of Ireland and (b) from the Republic of Ireland to Great Britain, giving the year in which the extradition occurred and indicating the outcome in each case.

Mr. John Patten

None. The Backing of Warrants (Republic of Ireland) Act 1965 and the reciprocal Irish legislation preclude extradition for political offences.
