This is an extraordinarily important point, and one that we argued vigorously at the time of the introduction of the provisions. Does my hon. Friend share my astonishment at the Prime Minister’s response last week, when questioned on this subject? He suggested that the only purpose of the unequal and unfair extradition arrangements with the United States was to deal with terrorism, but we know perfectly well that they are being used to deal with fraud offences, which are in no way related to terrorism. Does she not find that offensive?
