The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of additional transparency requirements for extradition decisions concerning individuals holding public office.

Answered by Sarah Jones

All extradition requests received by the UK are subject to the same independent legal process for all requested individuals, with clear safeguards and protections set out in the Extradition Act 2003. The UK Government does not intervene in any of these judicial decisions.
