	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/04/2018 answer text <p>Where there is evidence that crimes have been committed, foreign fighters should be brought to justice in accordance with due legal process. The UK takes extra-territorial jurisdiction for most terrorism offences, so that we are able to prosecute people in the UK for terrorism activity undertaken overseas if this is appropriate.</p><p> </p><p>There are also other criminal offences, including murder, for which the UK takes extra-territorial jurisdiction. Criminal investigations and decisions to prosecute depend on the circumstances of each individual case and are a matter for the police and CPS.</p><p> </p><p>There will be occasions where evidence against suspects means that the most appropriate jurisdiction to prosecute is not the UK in which case UK law enforcement will assist when required, subject to a range of safeguards.</p> answering member constituency Wyre and Preston North answering member printed Mr Ben Wallace question first answered 17/04/2018 12:28:41 answering member 1539 label Biography information for Mr Ben Wallace
