Policing and Crime Bill

My Lords, on the noble Lord’s first question, the issue is whether the court has capacity to make those considerations, which it does. I have made it plain that the current structure enables the judge to look at that issue right at the beginning, that the ECHR is there to cover the middle and the end, and that the process which has worked well is that final consideration of extradition should be made once the United Kingdom’s jurisdiction has been exercised. I still say that the noble Lord’s amendments are unnecessary and, therefore, invite him to withdraw or not move them.
