Arrest Warrants
Home Department
Conor Burns (Bournemouth West, Conservative)
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department on how many occasions the Serious Organised Crime Agency has refused to certify a request under the European Arrest Warrant in each of the last five years; and for what reasons in each case.
James Brokenshire (Old Bexley and Sidcup, Conservative)
The Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) does not refuse to certify European arrest warrant (EAW) requests that it receives which meet the criteria set out in part 1 of the Extradition Act 2003.
SOCA does not record data on the number of EAWs issued to the UK that do not meet these criteria.
