HL Deb 22 May 2003 vol 648 c104WA
Lord Vivian

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Why they are reluctant to extradite Adu Qatadar, Abu Hamza, Omar Bakri and Bashir Nafi, all of whom are thought to be involved in terrorism. [HL2862]

The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Home Office (Lord Filkin):

The United Kingdom takes its international obligations very seriously and, within what the law permits, will offer maximum assistance to all of its extradition partners. For obvious reasons, however, it is our policy and practice not to comment in advance of any arrest on any extradition requests.
