<p>This information cannot be obtained from National Crime Agency (NCA) records and
there is no known example of any person being extradited from the UK under an Arrest
Warrant for conduct that took place in whole or part within the UK but which was not
a crime under the law of the relevant part of the UK. <br><br>The amendments to sections
64 and 65 of the Extradition Act 2003 clarified that in all cases where all or part
of the conduct for which surrender is sought took place in the UK, that conduct must
be criminalised in the UK for surrender to be permissible. Where that is not the case
the individuals will not be surrendered. Since the reforms came into force, and up
to 31 October, the NCA has refused to certify 38 Arrest Warrants on the basis that
they would obviously have to be refused by a court for a failure to meet the requirement
of dual criminality.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
