uin	212745
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2014 answer text <p>Crime, and especially organised crime, does not respect borders. International co-operation is therefore essential. The relationship with<br>the Republic of Ireland is particularly important given its land border with a part of the United Kingdom. The relationships between the law enforcement agencies in Northern Ireland, who are devolved to the Northern Ireland Executive, as well as bodies such as HM Revenue and Customs, Border Force and the National Crime Agency which are UK-wide bodies, and their counterparts inthe Republic of Ireland are very good. The North South cross border organisedcrime conference held on 1-2 October with all the major bodies is one example of the desire to develop that co-operation further.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 05/11/2014 14:50:23 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what evidence her Department holds on extraditions of British nationals from the UK that took place over the period April 2009 to April 2014 under the European Arrest Warrant which led to the bringing into force of section 12A of the Extradition Act 2003.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2014 answer text <p>The reforms this Government made to the Arrest Warrant in the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014 address the concerns of Parliament and others regarding lengthy pre-trial detention in other Member States following surrender using the Arrest Warrant (such as in the case of Andrew Symeou). <br><br>The Home Secretary directly acknowledged those concerns in her statement to Parliament of 16 October 2012 when she said the &quot;Arrest Warrant has had some success in streamlining the extradition process within the EU, but there have also been problems there are issues around the lengthy pre-trial detention of some British citizens overseas.&quot; (Official Report, Col 164, 16 October 2012).<br><br>Section 12A of the Extradition Act 2003, which was introduced by the 2014 Act, was developed with those concerns and the case of Andrew Symeou in mind. <br><br>This is witnessed by what the Home Secretary said to Parliament on 9 July 2013: &quot;The change that I am introducing would have allowed Andrew Symeou to raise, in his extradition hearing, the issue of whether a decision to charge him and a decision to try him had been taken. It would likely have prevented his extradition at the stage he was surrendered and, quite possibly, altogether.&quot; (Official Report, Col 177, 9 July 2013)<br><br>The Government also looked closely at the manner in which Ireland had dealt with the issue of lengthily pre-trial detention, considering their ‘charge and try’ provision and the extent to which it has had an impact on Arrest Warrant cases (for instance, as shown by the judgment in Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform v Bailey (21 March 2012).<br><br>In framing the section, the Government also recognised that the legal systems of some other Member States (e.g. Sweden) require that the person be present in the jurisdiction in order for the decisions to charge and try to be taken. Full consideration was given to this position, with section 12A being clear that in cases where the decisions have not been taken, the person’s absence from the issuing State must be the sole reason for that failure if extradition is to take place. In all cases, if the issuing State is not trial-ready then extradition cannot take place.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley grouped question UIN 212696 212786 question first answered 10/11/2014 16:00:48 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
