Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answers of 20 June 2019 to Questions 265420, 265421 and 265422 on Extradition: USA, for what reason the figures are collected from local government level and not held centrally.

The Answers stated that all the figures given were from local management information. The statistics are collated from management information held by the UK Central Authority.

They have not been quality assured to the level of published National Statistics, and as such they should be treated as provisional and therefore subject to change. I can confirm that they are not collected from local government and are held centrally.
