Question S2W-16297

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S2W-15878 by Colin Boyd QC on 21 April 2005, whether it will provide a breakdown of the European Arrest Warrants received by (a) issuing country and (b) offence in (i) 2004 and (ii) 2005.

Colin Boyd QC:

In 2004, Scotland received three European Arrest Warrants and to date in 2005 Scotland has received a further two European Arrest Warrants.

Two of those received in 2004 were from Portugal, but were subsequently withdrawn.

One of the warrants received in 2005 was from Poland in respect of an allegation of attempted murder. It was executed earlier this year.

The other warrants remain outstanding. It is inappropriate for operational reasons to give details of either the issuing country or the offences for which those outstanding warrants have been issued.
