Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what proportion of extraditions of (a) British nationals and (b) other persons sought from the UK under the European Convention on Extradition and its additional Protocols were blocked for reason of incompatibility with Convention rights in each of the last five years.

The nationality of a person who is the subject of an extradition request was not centrally recorded until 2010.

The table below gives figures for the numbers of requests made under the European Convention on Extradition which were discharged by the District Judge under section 87 of the Extradition Act 2003 (which requires the District Judge to discharge a person if extradition would breach their human rights) , or on appeal by the High Court on human rights grounds. The nationality is given according to the information held by the Home Office.
