Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what extradition procedures are in place with Spain to enable the return of suspects to the UK to face trial.

The surrender provisions of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement govern extradition arrangements between the UK and the EU Member States, including Spain. These arrangements provide streamlined cooperation and safeguards for extradition requests between the UK and EU Member States.

Under these arrangements, the execution of individual warrants and surrender of any individual remain a matter for the UK’s independent courts, prosecutors and police forces.
