Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the likelihood of securing an extradition treaty between the United Kingdom and Pakistan.

The Government will neither confirm nor deny whether it is considering or is involved in negotiations with a particular country over an extradition treaty.

The absence of a formal extradition treaty does not prevent the UK from requesting the extradition of an individual from another country. It is a matter for the law of that country whether it is able to respond to such a request.
