Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether his Department has responded to the Croatian supreme court’s request for the Government to make an intervention in Jonathan Taylor’s case.
Mr Taylor appealed to the Croatian Supreme Court against his extradition. It confirmed that the correct process was not followed at the initial hearing - under EU law, the first instance Court should have enquired whether, as a UK national, the UK wished to extradite him. The National Crime Agency responded to this request that they had no outstanding case against Mr Taylor and therefore did not seek his extradition. There was no other request to the UK from the Supreme Court.
