Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for what reasons his Department refused to extradite to Myanmar the main suspect involved in the murder of Gary Ferguson from Bangor, County Down; when that decision not to extradite was made; and if he will make a statement.

As a matter of long-standing policy and practice, the UK will neither confirm nor deny that an extradition request has been made or received until such time as an arrest has been made in relation to that request.
The UK does not have extradition relations with Burma. Whilst we are able to consider requests from countries without a treaty, to be successful, any such request would have to meet the requirements in the Extradition Act 2003, including in respect of the protection of human rights.
