answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/11/2014 answer text <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> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 10/11/2014 16:06:20 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley previous answer version 26502 answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire answering member 1530

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 05/11/2014 answer text <p>Tackling Modern slavery is a priority for the National Crime Agency, which is committed to improving the co-ordination and coherence of intelligence gathering processes, working with law enforcement partners in the UK and abroad. For example, Europol helped facilitate the arrest of 90 people suspected of human trafficking as part of Operation Archimedes in September this year, and that is why the Government is seeking to rejoin the measure on 1 December. The Modern Slavery Strategy, which will be published shortly, will set out a number of measures to improve the way in which intelligence on modern slavery is gathered, analysed and shared with law enforcement partners.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Staffordshire Moorlands answering member printed Karen Bradley question first answered 05/11/2014 14:27:35 answering member 4110 label Biography information for Dame Karen Bradley
