Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many extradition requests were made by the US for UK citizens in each year since 2014; and how many of those requests are outstanding.

As a matter of long-standing policy and practice, we do not disclose whether an extradition request has been made or received until such time as a person is arrested in relation to the request. We therefore cannot provide the total number of extradition requests received from the US for British citizens in each year since 2014.

We can however provide the total number of British citizens (including dual nationals) arrested in relation to extradition requests received from the US since 2014.

Since 1 January 2014, 24 British citizens (including dual nationals) have been arrested in the UK in relation to extradition requests from the US.

Eight of these cases remain outstanding.

All figures are from local management information, and have not been quality assured to the level of published National Statistics. As such they should be treated as provisional and therefore subject to change. The figures do not include Scotland, which deals with its own extradition cases.
