Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Government plans to accept any request to extradite Carles Puidgemont to Spain in the event that he visits the UK in response to invitations from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.

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 unless an arrest has been made in relation to that request

Extradition cooperation with Spain operates under the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (the ‘TCA’).
