Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the potential impact on public confidence in the rule of law of declining to pursue extradition in cases involving senior public figures.

All extradition requests received by the UK are subject to the same independent legal process for all requested individuals, with clear safeguards and protections set out in the Extradition Act 2003. The UK Government does not intervene in any of these judicial decisions.
