HC Deb 04 December 1997 vol 302 c322W
Mr. Canavan

To ask the Attorney-General if he will make a statement about the role of his Department in requests for extradition from the United Kingdom. [17699]

The Attorney-General

Extradition from the UK is essentially a matter for the Home Office although the Crown Prosecution Service, which I superintend, is typically asked to act on behalf of the requesting State.
