§ Mr. MacShaneTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what are the grounds for extraditing a British citizen to Singapore from the United Kingdom. [21128]
§ Mr. Nicholas BakerThe United Kingdom's extradition arrangements with Singapore are governed by part III of the Extradition Act 1989. This permits extradition for offences committed within Singapore's legal jurisdiction, provided that a prima facie case can be shown, that the alleged offence carries a sentence of one year or more on conviction and that the alleged offence would also be an offence in this country.
