Extradition Bill — Clause 63 — Extradition Offences: Person Not Sentenced for Offence — 25 Mar 2003 at 18:32

Dame Cheryl Gillan MP, Chesham and Amersham voted in the minority (Teller for the Noes).

I beg to move, That the Bill be now read the Third time.

Now that we have reached the final stage of scrutiny of the Bill in this House, it is appropriate that we should reflect on some of the key points that have emerged from our deliberations. The first point that I want to put on record is that nobody has sought to defend the United Kingdom's present extradition system. That has not been a point of contention between us. It simply cannot be right that fugitives can frustrate the system by bringing appeal after appeal, raising the same point each time, with the result that their cases can take years to resolve. The case for reform is overwhelming.

Question put, That the Bill be now read the Third time.

The House divided: Ayes 303, Noes 142.
