Asked by: Lord Inglewood (Crossbench - Excepted Hereditary)
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government when they last considered the High Level Cost Benefit Analysis of Removing Legal Aid Means Testing in Extradition Cases prepared by the Ministry of Justice for Sir Scott Baker’s review of the United Kingdom’s extradition arrangements of September 2011; and when they next intend to do so.
Answered by Lord Faulks
Her Majesty’s Government last considered the Cost Benefit Analysis in October 2012 shortly before it published its response to Sir Scott Baker’s Review of the United Kingdom’s Extradition Arrangements.
Her Majesty’s Government has no plans to re-consider the Cost Benefit Analysis in the immediate future.
