To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the levels of delays in the international extradition of individuals suspected of murder and other serious violent offences; and what steps her Department is taking to expedite extradition proceedings and reduce delays.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the levels of delays in the international extradition of individuals suspected of murder and other serious violent offences; and what steps her Department is taking to expedite extradition proceedings and reduce delays.
This Government recognises the importance of robust extradition arrangements in creating a pathway to justice for all victims of crime. Extradition in the UK is very largely a judicial process, with strong legal safeguards and independent decision making. The Government works with operational and international partners to support effective extradition cooperation and ensure that individuals accused or convicted of serious offences can be surrendered to face trial or serve their sentence.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the answer of 24 April 2026 to Question 127538 on Members: Extradition, whether his Department has a policy on whether the Speaker of the House of Commons should be (a) informed or (b) consulted if extradition is...

Extradition requests are processed in accordance with the statutory framework set out in the Extradition Act 2003, which applies equally irrespective of a person's status or occupation. More widely it is longstanding Government practice and policy neither to confirm nor deny existence of individual extradition requests.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether there are any cases where (a) an Interpol WPD and (b) a Red Notice has been issued against an individual granted political asylum in the UK.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether there are any cases where (a) an Interpol WPD and (b) a Red Notice has been issued against an individual granted political asylum in the UK.
The Government has long-standing policies to neither confirm nor deny (NCND) the existence of an INTERPOL Red Notice or Diffusion against named individuals, and to not comment on an individual’s immigration or asylum status. This is to support the functioning of both our judicial processes, and to ensure the protection of those with asylum status in the UK. These policies are also applied by the National Crime Agency, which hosts the UK’s INTERPOL National Central Bureau.
The Government takes seriously any attempt to misuse INTERPOL systems. We continue to work closely with INTERPOL to ensure that it’s Constitution is upheld and those with refugee status are rightfully given the protections afforded by their asylum status.
To ask the hon. Member for Blaenau Gwent and Rhymney, representing the House of Commons Commission, where the extradition is sought by foreign governments of sitting Members of Parliament who are (a) UK nationals and (b) dual nationals, whether the Speaker would be consulted as part of such proceedings.

This is not a question for the Commission.
The UK is a strong advocate for Interpol, recognising its critical function in supporting international law enforcement co-operation. We also support its ongoing reform programme to ensure there is no space for states to wilfully misuse its systems. The UK is represented at Interpol meetings, where the adequacy of its systems are discussed, and where we work with like-minded partners to enhance safeguards against abuse.

My constituent Ollie Bennett is wanted by Interpol for an alleged crime in Morocco three decades ago. Ollie has always maintained his innocence, and following a debate in this place, his crewmate was granted a full royal pardon for the same charges. Ollie, however, was not. In December, he was arrested and detained in a French police cell. Although he is now safely home, Ollie remains at risk of arrest each and every time he goes abroad. The irony is that the Moroccan authorities have never filed to extradite Ollie, yet a Moroccan-sponsored Interpol red notice for Ollie remains active. Will the Minister commit to meeting me, to ensure that Ollie can access the support that he needs to successfully appeal this red notice and finally end this 30-year-long groundhog day?

The Government recently informed me that they have received 64 category 2 type B extradition notices under section 70 of the Extradition Act 2003, of which 56 have been certified. Fewer than five of those come from Bangladesh. Can the Minister confirm how many of those relate to Members of this House, and whether there are any Interpol red notices that apply to Members of this House?

Fraud is increasingly industrialised, transnational and technologically advanced. Methods used to contact and target victims in the UK also include measures to obscure offenders’ true identities and locations. This represents significant challenges for law enforcement in disrupting and bringing perpetrators to justice.
Scam centre activities typically involve actors, infrastructure, victims and financial flows across several jurisdictions. Proceeds of crime are also often transferred and laundered through multiple countries. This creates operational complexity which can prolong investigations.
The NCA, through the National Economic Crime Centre (NECC), works with international partners to identify and recover the proceeds of fraud affecting victims in the UK and overseas. For example, recent collaboration between the NCA and the Ghanaian authorities resulted in Ghana’s first cryptocurrency seizure, valued at approximately US$15 million.
The UK has also announced support for INTERPOL’s Global Fraud Task Force (Operation Shadow Storm), aimed at strengthening international coordination against scam centres and associated criminal finance
As a matter of long-standing policy and practice, the UK neither confirms nor denies that an extradition request has been made or received where no arrest has taken place, however the government attaches significant importance to ensuring that our extradition arrangements provide a path to justice for victims of crime and their families.
The decision to make a request for extradition is taken by the prosecuting authorities in each UK jurisdiction.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 1 April 2026 to Question 118319 on Extradition: Bangladesh, from when the data will no longer be categorised as provisional.
Further to the response to question 118319 dated 1 April 2026, we can confirm that this information is taken from local management information and has not been quality assured to the level of published National Statistics. It is the ongoing position that as such it should be treated as provisional and therefore subject to change.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 5 March 2026 to Question 114022 on Extradition, what the (a) country and (b) date was for each of the extradition requests received from Category 2 Type B countries.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 5 March 2026 to Question 114022 on Extradition, what the (a) country and (b) date was for each of the extradition requests received from Category 2 Type B countries.
The numbers of requests from each Category 2 Type B country received between 5th July 2024 and 23 February 2026 (the date of question 114022), where they number more than 5 requests are listed below. The total requests received in the timeframe, which was given in response to question 114022, was 64:
Brazil – 12
Iraq – 7
Nigeria – 7
Kosovo – 6
In accordance with our policies, and after careful consideration, we are not releasing the information on extradition requests received between 5th July 2024 and 23 February 2026, from Category 2 Type B countries where five or fewer requests have been made. Likewise, we are unable to break down the figures above any further due to the same considerations. The disclosure of such data may lead to the identification of an individual request which might prejudice ongoing law enforcement proceedings.
Please note that this information is taken from local management information and has not been quality assured to the level of published National Statistics. As such it should be treated as provisional and therefore subject to change.

Further to our response to question 114022, which requested the number of Category 2 Type B requests we had received between 5th July 2024 and the date of that request 23rd February 2026.
In accordance with our policies and after careful consideration we have decided not to release the information on requests received from Bangladesh between 5th July 2024 and today’s date. This is because disclosure of figures where five or fewer requests have been made may lead to the identification of an individual request. This might prejudice ongoing law enforcement proceedings.
