Extradition: USA

Asked by David DavisConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 24 September 2024UIN 4178

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many people were extradited to the United States for (a) violent and (b) non-violent crimes in each year since 2003.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

All figures are from local management information. As such they should be treated as provisional and therefore subject to change. The figures do not include Scotland, which deals with its own extradition cases. How many people were extradited from the United States to the UK for (a) violent and (b) non-violent crimes in each year since 2003?
