I refer the Rt Hon Member to my statement to the House on 26 February, and the draft treaty documents published on the same day. I look forward to going over the detail of the new arrangements with her when the final text of the treaty is brought before the House for scrutiny in due course.

Since 1 January 2004, extradition between EU member states has been governed by the Framework Decision on the European Arrest Warrant (EAW). The Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) and Crown Office (for Scotland) are the designated central authorities for the receipt and transmission of EAWs within the UK. Under the EAW process ““surrender”” is used to describe ““extradited”” and ““transferred””.Since the inception of the EAW on 1 January 2004 up to 31 March 2010, 145 UK citizens have been surrendered to other European member states pursuant to EAWs. Information on the member state that issued the EAW is available for the period 1 October 2008 to 31 March 2010. It should be noted that surrenders do not correlate to the requests made in the same period. Some surrenders can occur weeks or months following the initial request. The following tables identify the member states that made the request.Data on the member states which have issued EAWs for 101 UK citizens surrendered in the period prior to 1 October 2008 is unavailable. This data could be provided only by a manual examination of all SOCA case records for that period. This would incur a disproportionate cost.The nationality of persons subject to extradition requests from EU member states was not routinely recorded prior to 2004. To provide the figures for 1997 to 2004 would incur disproportionate cost as this would require a manual examination of Home Office files.The third table shows the number of extradition requests made to England and Wales (and Northern Ireland since 1 April 2008) and processed by the Home Office since 1997. Due to the way in which extradition requests have been recorded by the Home Office, the following information will include all requests made outside the EAW framework. It will therefore include some requests made by EU member states prior to them operating the EAW. It has not been possible to break down these numbers so as to identify either the person's nationality or the state which requested extradition as this would entail a manual examination of all files, which would again incur disproportionate cost.Finally, it should also be emphasised that an extradition request is not always finalised in the same year as a request is made. The figures quoted may, therefore, include extradition requests made before 1997.
It is not possible precisely to tally the number of requests received with the number of those extradited or not returned (whether discharged by the courts or Secretary of State, withdrawn by the requesting state etc.) in a defined period for a number of reasons. At any one stage there are a number of active extradition requests under consideration which will not count as either surrendered or not returned until they have been finalised.Additionally there may be a small number of people, subject to extradition proceedings, who for example have absconded, are serving a domestic sentence, or have not been arrested but remain wanted. These cases also cannot be closed until a final outcome has been reached. A further complicating factor is that some of the return figures will relate to requests made before the start of the defined period.

The role of consular staff when a British national is detained overseas is essentially one of welfare. The Government are not able to interfere with the legal process of another country, nor are we able to give legal advice.Our consular staff visited Mr Atkinson and Mr Binnington several times during their detention. Both men were given information about local legal systems and processes, together with a list of local Cypriot lawyers. They were advised to pursue their cases through the Cypriot legal system.
