Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many foreign criminals have been extradited to the UK in each of the last five years.

The Home Office deals with extradition requests to and from territories outside of the European Union. The National Crime Agency holds the data in relation to requests between the UK and EU countries.

In respect of extraditions dealt with by the Home Office, the following table provides the information sought:

The Home Office processes requests for extradition for individuals who have either been convicted or who are accused of a crime but have yet to proceed through a criminal trial.

All Home Office figures are from local management information and have not been quality assured to the level of published National Statistics. As such, they should be treated as provisional and therefore subject to change.
