Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many times the European Arrest Warrant has been used to extradite from the UK people suspected of (a) child sex offences, (b) rape and (c) murder in each of the last three years.

The National Crime Agency publishes annual statistics on the number of European Arrest Warrants (EAW) either issued by the UK or received by the UK. These figures include a breakdown of the number of EAWs by offence. However, these figures do not differentiate between accusatory EAWs and conviction EAWs. These figures are published at:
