HC Deb 20 January 1992 vol 202 c50W
Mr. Dalyell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department how many requests for extradition of citizens of countries with which the United Kingdom has no reciprocal extradition treaty arrangements have been made by the British Government in each of the past 10 years; how many have been successful; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. John Patten

The United Kingdom has made two extradition requests in the past 10 years to countries with which no formal extradition arrangements have been concluded, in 1987 and 1989. One person returned voluntarily before the request could be considered; the other could not be found.
