Home Department written question – answered at on 9 September 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what extradition facilities the United Kingdom has with Qatar.
There are currently no general extradition relations between the UK and Qatar, although this does not preclude the possibility of extradition.
The UK can also have extradition relations with parties to international conventions relating to specific very serious crimes, of which the UK is also a signatory. This is provided for within section 193 of the Extradition Act 2003. The UK and Qatar are signatories to a number of such conventions. Section 194 of the Extradition Act 2003 makes provision for the UK to consider extradition requests made to it by a territory with which no general extradition arrangements are in place.
