Criminal Law

Proceeding contribution from Nick de Bois (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 November 2014. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Criminal Law.

I am grateful for the Home Secretary’s attempt to explain that point, but perhaps I can ask her about another issue. The courts are not allowed to take into account the record of a country in its effectiveness at pursuing a case from charge to trial-ready. Would such a requirement on the courts provide more confidence that they can look beyond the initial application to extradite and hold to account countries that fail to deliver?
