Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many British nationals were extradited from the UK under a European Arrest Warrant to each other EU member state in each of the last five years; what allegations or offences each such person was extradited for; whether each such person was convicted of that extradition offence; if they were extradited for prosecution; and what sentences were imposed upon each.

Between the start of the 2009-2010 business year and 31 March 2014 the UK has extradited a total of 217 British nationals under the Arrest Warrant. This represents 4.3% of the 5072 people surrendered during this period.

The attached table breaks down by country surrender to, offence and business year.

Due to the way in which the National Crime Agency holds the data it has not been possible to break down this data by whether the Arrest Warrant was issued in an accusation or conviction case. Data on sentences imposed is not routinely provided by other Member States.
