Police and Justice Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Garnier (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Police and Justice Bill.
If I say it three times, the cock will probably crow, so I will leave the matter there. Under the 1973 treaty, both sides had to present evidence. Although the wording was different—we all accept that ““prima facie”” are two different words from ““probable cause””—to all intents and purposes the courts on both sides of the Atlantic agreed that the tests were similar and that the evidence could be tested. Now we face a situation in which we must provide evidence, whereas the United States will merely make allegations.
