Question to the Home Office:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many requests for arrests were made from police in England and Wales to judges in (1) Scotland, and (2) the rest of the United Kingdom, in (a) 2016–17; (b) 2017–18; and (c) 2018–19; and in how many such cases a delay resulted in a failure to arrest.
The Home Office does not hold records on applications for arrest warrants by police forces in any of the UK’s jurisdictions. These records may be held by individual police forces.
