Clause 179 - Competing claims to extradition
Extradition Bill
3:30 pm
Mr Michael Wills (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Home Office; North Swindon, Labour)
Yes. I do not want to make a judgment about that particular case, but it is precisely what is envisaged in the provision. I hope that the Committee will accept that we are attempting to bring some clarity to the procedure in highly serious cases. As a result of my assurance to both hon. Gentlemen, I hope that the Committee will accept the clause.
