Clause 21 - Human rights
Extradition Bill
10:00 am
Mr John Burnett (Torridge and West Devon, Liberal Democrat)
I have little to add to the comments of the hon. Member for Surrey Heath. Liberal Democrat names were added to the amendment because it is only fair to oblige a judge to make inquiries into a possible
breach of a suspect's rights, which should be an integral part of the process. Compliance with human rights legislation should be built into the Bill. We hope that the Minister will view the amendment favourably.
