Extradition (Provisional Arrest) Bill — Clause 2 — Addition of Countries From Which Requests for Arrests for the Purposes of Extradition for Serious Offences Are Considered — 8 Sep 2020 at 16:45
The majority of MPs voted not to only allow the addition of one new country at a time to the list of countries from which requests for arrests for the purposes of extradition for serious offences are considered.
MPs were considering the Extradition (Provisional Arrest) Bill[1].
The amendment supported by a majority of MPs in this vote was:
- Amendment 14, page 4, leave out lines 3 and 4.
The accepted amendment was accompanied by the following explanatory statement from its proposer:
- This amendment leaves out a provision inserted in the Lords preventing regulations under new section 74B(7) adding more than one territory at a time to the list of territories in new Schedule A1.
The provision removed by this amendment stated[2]:
- Regulations made under subsection (7)(a) shall designate no more than one territory
The regulations in question would amend the scope, and arrangements, relating to a power for UK constables to arrest people on the basis of a request from an authority in another country. The proposal at the time of the vote was for such a power to apply in respect of certain requests from Australia, Canada, Liechtenstein, New Zealand, Switzerland and The United States of America.
